At first I wasn't sure...

At first I wasn't sure I would like a story as told only to a psychiatrist, but the surprise here is that it works, and works well.  The emotion of the main character is strongly felt as she relates her ordeal of kidnap and rape.  Her transformation from a woman who seemingly has her life on track to the embittered recluse she becomes is frighteningly understandable.  It's a good read and worth all the household chores that will wait until the reader is through.

It took a while for me to catch on to what was happening, and I was still surprised by some of the happenings. Now on to book 2

I wasn't quite sure what to think of this book in the beginning. It took me a while to get into the characters' heads -- in part, I think, because Janie is so often is in other people's heads and dreams -- but once I found my groove, I found myself really enjoying it.

Janie's life is screwed up. Her mom's an alcoholic who doesn't seem to care one way or another what's going on in Janie's life (although she does have a moment or two later on where she actually acted mom-like) and Janie's dealing with some BIG STUFF. I mean, being pulled into someone's dream against her will isn't something that comes with a guide book. She has few friends, no parental figure, and she's doing the best she can with the little she's given.

Cabel confused me at first. I wasn't sure what was going on with him but once the pieces started to fall into place it made sense. HE made sense. Speaking of which, his life is just as screwy as Janie's, just in an entirely different way.

While the book started a bit slow, I was pleasantly surprised by the overall turn of events and was rooting for Janie and Cabe by the end. I do have the next two books lined up and I'm ready to see where they take me.

I must say at first I didn't think much of this band, but, they kind of grew on me like something that hurts at first, but, the more you do it, the more you like it... They are now becoming one of my favorite bands and I have purchased all their albums... I am a long time metalhead and it is refreshing to find something that still makes me want to 'bang my head' on occasion.

Didn't think I would like it at first. But once I saw the first episode it turned me into a fan.

At first I couldn't get into it, but something about it kept me intrigued, just the thought of not knowing in the first book. By the time I finished I was hooked.

When I started this book I thought it was slow and seemed to drag on. The further I got into it the more I liked it. However at times it was dragged on and I had a hard time staying interested. The ending to this book shocked me a little and now because Im invested in the characters, I need to know what will happen!

Slow going at first, it was initially very confusing. About 60% through, I could see where it was going.

At first I was not sure, as this is not a genre I usually gravitate toward. Once I began reading, it piqued my curiosity. Soon I found myself turning the pages eagerly ... wanting to know what was to come.  I also experienced some of Joe's frustration as he tried to find the way to accomplish his objective. I was a little surprised by the ending, but  look forward to seeing what life has in store for Joseph Bridgeman.
