There were times I had to put it down and walk away, but I had to see that brave girl through to the end. I am glad I stuck it out. It was probably over the top in its dark moments, but they made you understand so much about the central character. It ended up being one of my best reads (hard to say favorite…) of last year. I still think of this book often.
Thank you all for your comments. I read the book and wouldn’t recommend without great forewarning as it deals with such a disturbing subject and not sure people could deal with it. I did think it was beautifully written and certainly spellbinding as I just had to know what the ending would be. I could echo what all of you wrote who did finish the book. I would not recommend to my book club as it’s such a dark subject and appreciate the “discussion “ you provided me as I really wondered how others reacted.
Reading it right now- about 100 pgs in.
Are you continuing?
Yes! I am no quitter 🙂
Certainly not a book for everyone and I completely understand, but it was the best book on the worst subject in my opinion.
Well, I just finished it. That was a tough read. Turtle reminded me of Scout, with a monster for a father instead of Atticus.
I thought it was awful, but I couldn’t put it down. Broke my heart.
I really liked it though it’s pretty dark.
It’s really dark. One of those books you have to be in the right mood to read.

I don’t recommend this book.
I can understand your feelings. It is an awful subject with a very evil character.
I thought it was a really great Book. Horrible but fabulous. The writing is really wonderful.
I could t read it any further than chapter 2. I found it so disturbing ?
Yes, very disturbing ,but I had to see her through.
