4.0

Tough topics and emotional upheaval that is (mostly) fully developed. There are a couple things that I missed reading more about but we're set up enough toward the end to see the future of the characters.

This has many terrible subjects that come up around a long term kidnapping/captive situation.

Notes contain spoilers.

Alice's tragic story was told with a lot of sensitivity and compassion. Although, I suspected the plot twist in the emd from the very beginning and was only one time slightly deterred from it. The connection between the biblical names was just to obvious to go unnoticed.
