 A good thrilling read October 12, 2008

This book grabbed me from the word go. The easy and quick pace throws you straight into the story and takes you on a roller coaster ride to the end. Nearly every chapter leaves you wanting to know what happens next. A good thriller from start to finish.
 Good half a book but the wheels fell off! October 11, 2008

The book starts well, we get engaged with the characters and the central mystery seems genuainely puzzling. That mystery appears to get darker and even more mysterious as the book proceeds.
But then the plot starts to part company with reality. I read to the end with an increasing sense of disbelief!
In summary: great page turner! You will keep reading to the end - but you might look back and think the ending was just a bit silly and far fetched
Flies off the pages... October 5, 2008

I really enjoyed this novel. A fascinating concept - that a teenage girl wakes up one morning to find her entire family has gone. Just disappeared without a trace...And then she has to wait 25 years and to the making of a documentary about her life to find out the truth.
Fast paced, with excellent three-dimensional characters, I raced through this book in no time - it is truly unputdownable! I've heard a lot said that it's 'far-fetched' and has 'unecessary twists' and though this may be true, it is still great story-telling. I do feel that it's believable enough to hold your interest and the outcome, though given away a little easily, is worth the wait.
Highly recommended...
No time to do anything except making time to read this book! September 30, 2008

Fans of Harlen Coben will love this book. Its very entertaining and will not disappoint. It has everything especially the one thing i always look for and thats humour. Like Coben its very family orientated and children/parents relationships are very important.
Nice start, shame about the end September 29, 2008

Great start to the story, draws you in, leads to great expectations...then lets you down with a very predictable and disappointing ending ..which you think .. this can't be! The characters are initially good but are increasingly unbelievable and dissolve into what seems to be the author trying to tie everything up to the conclusion rather than coming up with an exciting ending. Pity it wasn't a better ending, which would have led to a 5 star book.
