Not my normal genre of book, but there has been so much about this series, I thought I would delve into it. I liked the layout of how the story switched through different characters to give you varying points of view.

Wow. What a story about the human psyche! and how sometimes you really don't know someone. At several points this book had me sick to my stomach and I had to put it down. Before the "twist" I actually reached out to a friend and asked some questions to determine if I wanted to continue. I'm glad that it wasn't the stereotypical husband kills wife instead of leaving her story, but the ending still didn't settle well.

I read this book before it came out (well, was there really any question) that Lance doped. Whether you like him or not, believe him or not, this is a really good book
