5.0 out of 5 stars A wild ride!, April 26, 2003

Cecelia Smith (Fort Worth, Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fragments (Paperback)

Tessa Jones' first novel is an excellent work that takes a horrific reality, blends it with plausible science fantasy, and produced a riveting book. The reader is along for a wild ride as she delves into the deepest pit of human behavior and emerges on the other side. Unexpected twists and turns keep the reader guessing right up to the finish. This is a book that teaches about a little understood disorder, exposes a rarely discussed taboo, and keeps the reader hooked right to the end. Bravo!
