Gets you thinking bout more than the story

This is a very timely story- set in the present day, with current events referenced. While the main story is that of a discovery of a serial killer and the solving of that case; it isn't really the main story. This is a story of loyalty to one's family, legacy, race, loved ones, sense of duty, and justice. While I did figure out 'who done it' pretty early on, that didn't diminish the story in my eyes. If this book doesn't get you thinking about what YOU owe your community, it certainly should.

I like how she told the story from man different perspectives.  It was an event I had never heard about before.  Much to ponder on

Keeps you reading but not much to the theory behind the story.

More than a story the book is a look into areas that could arise in the near future. An easy read book about  a complex turn of events

Good story, but would have enjoyed more had it delved into the individuals and built a story around it. It seemed like a lot of random thoughts that didn't really connect.

It a great fiction,but not just another murder mystery.  It makes you think about the lives of people who are not "normal" and about the abnormalities in your own life.

There were a few times when the narrative seemed too long or not necessary, but as I got into the story, I saw the importance of it. I read the book in 2 days because it was hard to put down. I thought the ending would be obvious, but it wasn't, and that was good.

A very interesting non-linear (but still logical) narrative style combined with a "what if?" scenario that causes the reader to question what he or she would do in the same situation, this novel tells an unlikely story with intense character development and enough twists and turns to keep your eyes glued to the page. It might not be a "feel good" book, but this one definitely gets you thinking.

It was not what I expected but was a good read nonetheless. The story really made me think about human nature.

A story that definitely keeps you asking questions and seeking answers to those questions.  Lots of religious theories and places around the world to explore make for confusing moments, but on the whole worth the time to delve into this world of the religious.

It was disappointing that half way through you could see where the story was going, but it still held my interest.  Some of the subject matter will really make you stop and think.

This was a good story that had you thinking about the effect we have on other lives. I think King got off tract more than usual in this one but still a great story.

Story will make you think twice about gun control and why we do not need more. A great story in a "what if kinda way.

I liked it.  Tells the aliens among us story strictly through the eyes of one of those visitors.  Its something different and leaves you with a lot to ponder.

I will sometimes finish a book that will have a greater effect on me a couple of days after reading it than when I first finish it.  This book is one of those.  To try to explain without spoiling anything is difficult, but here goes:

The narrator and her friends are graduates of a boarding school in England, where they have some notion they are somehow different, and even among those who are different, are set apart for having attended the school (see how hard this is?).  The narration is a bit disjointed, but I liked that, as it really felt like this young woman was sitting with me and telling me her story off the top of her head.  I also got the impression that she was remarkably sensitive, and could read people's emotions well (or at least fancied she could).  As she tells her story, you feel confused -- like the information is incomplete -- which is brilliant, because this is how the students feel as they're growing up.

This is a story about humanity, what it is to be human, what it means to be compassionate.  As the truth is revealed, you may be shocked and think that there is no way that humanity could cross such a line, but think of the many ways people are dehumanized today.

I have to say, almost everyone in my public library's book club did not like this book, so I was in the minority.  But I think if you are open to a different way of hearing a story, and are open to letting the story make you think a bit, you will find this book a worthwhile read.

For some time you don't quite realise the narrative flow and then suddenly it becoms apparent. It's a story that touches upon raw emotions but does it with no judegments. very sensitive,
