Helpful Score: 3
Was this book a book about a woman who survived being held hostage and the psychological terror that results from surviving, a sick voyeuristic look into the mind of a hostage taker through the eyes of his victim, a who done it mystery or a simple horror/thriller? I do not know and I do not think the author knows either. The writing, while good, seems all over the place. Almost like the author could not decide what she wanted out of her own book. Maybe that is why it appealed to so many since they could take a particular part of the book they liked and run with it. Again, I do not know.
I liked the story and I enjoyed the psychological elements to it but I did feel like it was the car crash on the side of the road. You do not want to look but you cannot help yourself (aka morbid curiosity). As for the weird ending, I felt like it made the book a book rather than a recounting of a horrible event without any real purpose to it. I did not like the twist but I did feel it was necessary.
