Hamelin's Child is not a pretty book. I read a review that said the characters were flat and not engaging, but requested a kindle sample anyway, and the moment I was done reading the sample, purchased the book. I think the characters are very British, and not terribly emotional, but I truly could not put this book down until I finished reading it, and now I am writing this review because I can't focus on anything else. This story will be with me for a long time.Michael's story was gripping. I feel awfully sad about the events at the ending, but it was true to the book.Hamelin's Child reminds me of Catherine Atkins 'When Jeff Comes Home,' but delved into Michael's ordeal in more detail. The story question isn't how will Michael cope when he comes home, but can Michael cope with coming home at all?One of the previous reviewers mentioned a sequel. I will be watching for it.If you want an intense, disturbing read that will stay with you a long time, this one will do it.
