Yes, yes, yes. This book is why I love thrillers. Another disturbing read, but this time with a twist and I loved every second. My only complaint is that I found the first few chapters to be confusing, but once you reach the end, you find out why. I re-read the beginning and all made sense. Now time to watch the movie.

I read this at the same time The DaVinci Code was making headlines and being read by everyone under the sun. I read this book first and was AMAZED that such a superior thriller didn't get nearly the attention. It's full of twisty turns and it's a quick, fun read.

Really well done. For what it is about and for the ending it managed to not be confusing. Everything fits into place really well once you reach the end. That last 80 pages are really where the book gets you. Would really recommend, almost perfect thriller.
