Rachel R. (tangledgarlands) reviewed on 4/10/2006 + 28 more book reviews

better than 'if there be thorns', but still not up to par with some of the best books of the series. part of this is because the issues that were supposedly dealt with in 'if there be thorns' only resurface again, so its a bit repetitive if you have already read that book. the story is still being told from cathy's point of view, but shes not the main focus of the book, so it seems pointless. i was bothered that she and chris werent more uncomfortable living in the same house that held so many horrors for them all those years ago. the ending, however, totally makes up for all of the book's shortcomings. you knew it had to be coming sometime, yet it hits you so hard and is such amazing imagery. i cried.
