Review: One of the best books I've read this year
Rating: 5 out of 5

I found this book by accident when looking for something else.  What a great accident that was.The author gets into the mind of all the characters and brings them to life.  They aren't nice or bad but a mixture of both and oh so real.The reader is told what is going to happen in the first chapter, but by going back and seeing why is so well done in this novel.Just so you know where I'm coming from - I read a lot.  To read a book a day is not unusual but essential for me.  I don't usually like books written in the first person or books that start with the ending known.  This novel has both of those and really has to be good for me to give it 5 stars anyway.If you've ever seen a news story and wondered "Why did they do that?"  this book is for you.  The author is so good at using words to express emotions and the interplay between characters that I was hooked until the end.  A true mystery even with some events known from the beginning.
