One eye MaGee ,

Save your money

This was in the horror section, lord knows why!! Should be in the bedtime section, as it puts you to sleep quickly. Convoluted story telling with stories inside stories inside stories; with none worth listening to. Yawn!!

Unbearable but very brave

This book consumed me. I had to set it aside several times as it is so difficult to read about cruelty. It is, however, very well written.

A+

Captivating. A brilliant book. Full of suspense. The depth of the characters is impressive. Loved knowing this book was waiting for me every night. I want the pink suit.
