This book was amazing! the sheer size of it was intimidating and I admit that about 80 pages in, I.was ready to quit. At the behest of previous readers I continued-- and I'm glad I did. This book lulls you in and makes you want to keep reading because you cannot...CANNOT get the Birdsey twins out of your head. You'll think about them when your not reading because you want to know what happens next.
It's a creeper but an extremely worthwhile read.

However, for as much work as Lamb put into this story, why he'd ruin it with the last chapter is beyond me. It's too tidy and has a sort of Hollywood ending that I didn't care for. Otherwise, a great book.
