I've heard nothing but amazing things about this book so I figured I'd pick up a copy. I'll add it to my gigantic "to be read" pile.

This book was amazing - it was haunting, but in a good way. I can't even describe how I feel after reading it - it has moved me in a way a book hasn't for a long, long time. It was truly different than anything I've ever read before, but I was captivated.
I found the ending a bit off, but it didn't detract from the rest of the book too much. I guess I would have prefered to see it resolved in a different way. 'Nuff said.
The creativity of Alice Sebold to come up with this story astounds me. I'd highly recommend this book.

I'm sending this book to seeinstarrz as part of a book trade.
Recv'd this book today, can't wait to read it and see what all the talk is about! Thanks jenny-lou-who :)
2/25/03 - Seeing as my TBR pile is looming large, I have leant this out to "edsgirl" to read. (Hopefully) when she is finished, she will pass it back to me and I will read and release it then :)

Because this was such a talked-about book, I was anxious to love it. I did really enjoy the first 3/4 of the story but the ending was a total disappointment; not at all uplifting and it seemed to collapse toward the end. Character development good, but did I really care for these people? I am giving this to my daughter to read.
