Review: A heartbreaking tale
Rating: 4 out of 5

Overall I enjoyed this more than most reviewers appeared to.  I will admit that I never really connected with the main character, because her whole story felt sort of cliche, but the story of her abductor was heart-wrenching, and I felt that the lack of characterizaation was a strength rather than a weakness.  We got just enough of her story, revealed a bit at a time, to really make us feel her pain, but left room for our imagination to fill in some of the holes.  I will agree with those who felt that the ending was fairly predictable, though.  I was torn between 3 and 4 stars, but I'm rounding up, because for the investment of time, I felt this was a worthy tale, and will definitely try more of Mary's work.
