Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I got very little done for 2 days and didn't get much sleep for 2 nights...it was THAT hard to put down! Quite a page-turner. For those who say it was confusing...good heavens, there were only 5 main characters to keep up with! Each timeline was contiguous...with alternating chapters. I cheated a couple of times and skipped to the next chapter featuring that character, because I couldn't stand the suspense. But don't do that towards the end because the timelines do converge at that point. Good characterization, believable premise, excellent style of writing, and a steady pace...overall, very well-written! I have only 2 complaints: 1. Very poorly edited. There were a number of places where a small word was just missing, or the wrong form of a word was used... stuff like that...in addition to grammatical errors which most people won't notice.. I hope the author gets a better editor for the next edition. Not bad enough to get in the way of enjoying the story...just some minor annoyances that made the reading a bit choppy in places. 2. The endings of a couple of the timelines were a bit over the top, like he throwing in everything but the kitchen sink! It was a bit much and unnecessary. (But it didn't bother me enough to dock any stars.) The 2 main timelines that I was the most interested in had very satisfying endings. 3. MINOR SPOILER ALERT! (Not really...I will try to just hint) Authors choosing to write about psychopaths should get better educated about the fact that true psychopaths have a brain disorder and canNOT change...they do NOT have a conscience and cannot love anyone, because they aren't physically capable of true emotions, and No amount of love will cure them. To suggest otherwise may encourage victims of psychopaths to tolerate abuse much longer, instead of escaping. 4. MAJOR SPOILER ALERT! --------------------------------------------------------------------- NO WAY would the cop have been that stupid. Well the premise is that love is blind, right? and because they believed in the Match so thoroughly that they lost their ability to think rationally...I get it. But still, that part wasn't plausible. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All of these nits are minor, when compared to the overall success of the book. I enjoyed it and will definitely check out other books by this author.
