madysonlorraine's review against another edition

“Special Ed” being a bully’s nickname for Eddie, fine whatever, excusable as part of the story. Christopher’s narration continuing to think of Eddie as “Special Ed”? Unacceptable and unrealistic decision made by the author.

Also unacceptable decision made by the author, discussing eight year old’s genitalia.

It also seems to be going the route of using mental illness as a cop-out/plot device.

Simply not interested and I’m tired of authors being this way.

Sin palabras. Este libro sale totalmente de mi zona de confort. Me hizo asustar y a la vez desesperar más de una vez. Pero nunca deje de querer saber como continuaba. Al final, me tomo por sorpresa una gran reflexion escondida entre los parrafos de este magnífico thrillee.
