Loved this book! Such a great voice. The ending was a nice trick even though we had all the clues. I liked the way the story lines were woven so neatly together. Sometimes you see the truth and try to ignore it but it always comes out.
ReplyDeleteLoved it! Brilliant. An instant classic. A bit like Lemony Snicket or The Willoughby's, but utterly original.
