This book was on the bestseller lists for so long, and also seemed to be extremely popular here, so I had to get it to see what all the fuss was about.

I have to say it was different, but I enjoyed it very much! I've started a bookray and several have joined, but I think it will go pretty fast, as it is a quick read. (I had a hard time putting it down, because I couldn't wait to see what happened next.) Thanks for joining!

Enjoyed this book very much, but the ending I'm still not decided on it .... UGH, I wanted more out of it then it gave me! Uh well, still an excellent book to read!

Mailed to a fellow bookcrosser.

This was a quick, yet absorbing and memorable read- just what I was in the mood for this week. I'll definitely look for Sebold's other book. Meanwhile, this one is going to Iran- enjoy, airyaa!

I'm asking for the address to the next, Balham! :-)

Hi. I enjoyed this book very much (infact I couldn't put it down!), although I felt it lost its way slightly towards the end. I thought the family's reaction to the death of their daughter was very well protrayed, especally that of the father and son.

I'll be sending this off to the next reader today - thanks to Ilovetoread2 for starting this ring.

wasnt sure if i would enjoy reading this book as the subject is a bit daunting, but it was engaging and in the end a positive read
sending it on to the next on the list
