I almost put this book down a few times (I listened the audio version and it took me half way through the book to not be annoyed by the narrator's voice). The books has a lot of unnecessary conversations and details which was a bit annoying. It was very predictable...but I made it through. It wasn't terrible.

very creepy story. kept me going all the way thru, even though you knew who did it.

The writing was pedestrian and the characters as flat as cardboard, but the premise (in a coma, but can hear everything) was so compelling I couldn't put it down.

I read this entire book cover to cover today. It was a perfect fast read. It was so suspenseful, I couldn't handle waiting to finish it.

Mind candy

Gott sei Dank habe ich dieses Buch umsonst bekommen.


I devoured this book. It is my favorite release by Joy Fielding in the last 5 years. The story kept me on the edge and eager to read more.
Fantastic!

From such early promise to such final disappointment. An interesting plot quickly becomes predictable and rushed to conclusion.
