A few words come to mind about this book: psycho and brilliant. Flynn is amazing to pull this off with few, if any, glaring flaws in flow and plot and presentation. Well done. It only gets three stars for me, though, because it doesn't meet my own criteria for any further praises. I wasn't moved enough to need to own it, I wasn't entertained enough to want to keep it. I'd not find myself saying, "You should read this" to my book loving circle, but I won't discourage anyone from giving it a try. While it was clever, suspenseful, and well done, it's just not personally "shelf worthy". I found the character development fascinating and expertly crafted, but can't say much more without giving spoilers.
