Sorry for being an old fuddy-duddy
For me personally, this was not a lovely read – although someone else might think it rates 5 stars. My problem was not the author's writing style. If she been writing another type of book, I might have thoroughly enjoyed the experience. My thoughts during the entire time I spent reading it was that this was a sick story – I am not interested in reading about searching for a suitable person to torture and kill.

I appreciated the opportunity to receive and read the book but I could hardly wait for the moment when I could finally tell myself - that I should not feel guilty about putting it aside and reading something more stimulating in a wholesome way. I only have one question – do you suppose that books like this are why there are so many youth and adults who do not hesitate to engage in violence?
