It is interesting to read about a book that a reader loved, even if you don’t think you will also love it. I do have a hard time reading books where abuse happens to children, and so tend to avoid them.

This is a great mystery novel.Apt demonstration of complexities in relationships and the point to draw lines between careers and controversies.

Sounds interesting. Due to my naturally skeptical nature and my distrust of anything main stream, I'm sure it will frustrate the hell out of me. Since I already have the book, I'll probably read it.

Thanks for the review and the heads up about bad things happening to children in this one. Not sure if I'll follow through on this one or not. Many really seem to like this author but I am still unsure.

Sounds like something I think I would enjoy. I saw where one reader said that this one had a surprising ending, which is something I always enjoy! Thank you for sharing your review!

Post by Reuben 92 »

Thank you for the review - it has confirmed my desire to give this book a try. It sounds complex and ambitious, taking on big topics - one you can really get your teeth into. Thanks again!

Career people either seeking to join hands in marriage or are already in it will find this book a must-read. Very informative. Thanks for the review.

Wow!!! This is a feel good book.. Can't wait to read it, sounds like a thriller/romance..knowing that marriage is not just about the papers, but the commitment and the history it comes with. And the couple i.e Luke and Lucy trying to keep things steady.. Especially with the things going on in their workplaces.. Great review for an awesome book. :ugeek2: :techie-studyinggray:

This seems interesting and I think I'll learn something from it like taking a look on different human relationships. Though I hope this will be worth the read for me too. Thanks for the wonderful review!

I don't think this is quite my cup of tea, but you did a great job on the review. I especially like how you pointed out how well the characters were drawn. Without good protagonists, antagonists, etc. a story isn't even worth reading.

The book is very entertaining, from the sample, the writer has a way with words. I'm happy to see the whole book turns out well.

I think this book is way too emotional and heart-wrenching for me. Besides the topic of child abuse is not something I would like to read about. Thanks for the nice review.
