I loved this book. It is definitely creepy and not for the squeamish,but I thought it was such a compelling story. I thought the characters were written so well and I could feel myself rooting for all the butterflies. The Gardener is sick and evil, and I have to be honest that I am a little concerned that Ms. Hutchison came up with such a heinous character. I gave it 5 stars because of how drawn in I got to the story, but I didn't really like how she pulled the ending together at the end. It really didn't match up with the rest of the story.
