The Three Incestuous Sisters Reviews

'Niffenegger's spare, full-page, sepia-toned aquatints are evocative and Gorey-esque; they tell the story more than the minimalist prose does.' - PW.

This is the first of your books that I've read...I loved this book...I couldn't put it down and when I had to I couldn't wait to continue reading it....It did have it's twists that sometimes made you wonder why was this in the story...then it would all come together. However, I didn't like the ending! It left you just hanging in the air...it was as if you suddenly decided you were tired of the story.... ....Hopefully, you will write a sequel to these people's lives. There were 4 of us that read this book and had great discussions about it and the ending...you disappointed all of us at the end.
Thanks for letting me bend your ear.
