A great collection of characters

A great story of different peoples perspective, of a terrible incident of young children and the adults around them. The development of characters even the children is rich and makes one start to root for a “happy” ending. Be advised though. Not a fairy tale. Enjoyed immensely!!

Great story if you can get passed the narration.

I struggled with this at first. it was very slow, and seemed to be just like any other book I had read this year. nothing stood out.
I was even tempted to return the books, but I'm happy I didn't.

it doesn't help the narrator's are very monotoned and show little to no emotion in their readings. (this being a very emotion book, I feel that really hindered the immersion of the story)

Once you get 2/3 of the way through the novel, the author definitely plays a game of keep-away with you.

Taking multiple chapters to finally disclose literally one word. (that's just one example that really stood out to me)
It was infuriating, and almost caused me to skip chapters, but then I realized the author had done what he set out to do: captivate my attention.

it's a great novel to listen to, I would recommend it.

just be aware the protagonist's mother, Antonia, is a horrible mother. she's not violent toward her children, but she allows far too much to happen to her children and is too much of a coward to interfere.

Out of all the characters in this novel, hers angered me the most.

Absolutely excellent!

Wow what a great book!! I just couldn’t stop listening at all. I also got another of her books too. This was well worth the time and then some.

Entertaining Listen

The telling of the story is more interesting then uncovering of the "villian". It was a good listen and I found it to be the perfect length. There's alot going on that will keep you guessing.

Great book

I really enjoyed this audio book, more so with more than one narrator. It’s a must listen.

Quite good overall!

I enjoyed this book! I found it exciting in places, emotional in places ... and predictable in places. Overall the narration was good.

A great read

Wonderful book, delves into each character, interesting narration. The one immense problem I had with this book is the mother’s character. A weakling, an abused woman so disconnected from real life, that you want to shake her into action ! As a mother, she sucks big time ! Still, the other characters make up for her ineptitude !

A disappointment

The first third of this book was initially intriguing. Good storyline, well written. Then it seemed to fall off a cliff. it was replaced with a childish, cloying narrative that went nowhere. For the first time ever, I could not not finish the book. I am sorry to say, I cannot recommend this book.
