I am not saying this is a literary masterpiece...but it is a good book. I an hesitant to recommend it to younger kids though - it is rather dark. As a middle aged woman I would say it is too dark and deep to be fully understood by kids.

I agree. The author seemed to try to write deeply and it came out horribly. I had never found a truely awful book before this one. I couldn't bring myself to finish it. Spare yourself.

I'm not in the habit of bashing books, but seriously, reading this book was like watching a suspense movie on fast-forward. That's to say there were a lot of good scenes, but they were so rushed, and disconnected that it was very hard to follow. The characters were flat, and there wasn't one that I could relate too, especially not Freda which is sad because she is the main character. The story seemed unrealistic at times, and so hastily thrown together that I found myself reading it only because I didn't want to waste the $6 bucks I spent on it. I would recommend checking it out of the library or borrowing a copy from someone if you MUST read it.
