"Honestly, if I'd read this book alone, I would have finished it in one sitting, given it a 2-star rating, and written a scathing review. My thriller reading strategy involves reading the first 50 pages to form a theory, then speeding through the rest"

"This certainly kept me guessing! Interesting characters and an unusual plot. Some red herrings and twists. This is my third book by this author and I have enjoyed them all."

quote
“My life, my life, my very old one
My first badly healed desire, My first crippled love, You had to return. It was necessary to know What is best in our lives, When two bodies play at happiness, Unite, reborn without end. Entered into complete dependency, I know the trembling of being, The hesitation to disappear, Sunlight upon the forest’s edge And love, where all is easy, Where all is given in the instant; There exists in the midst of time The possibility of an island.” Michel Houellebecq |

“Later, after everything’s happened, I’ll know that particular feeling is called happiness.”

“Even though I’m late, I rush to vacuum over my footsteps in the carpet like always,”

“My life, my life, my very old one
My first badly healed desire,
My first crippled love,
You had to return.
It was necessary to know
What is best in our lives,
When two bodies play at happiness,
Unite, reborn without end.
Entered into complete dependency,
I know the trembling of being,
The hesitation to disappear,
Sunlight upon the forest’s edge
And love, where all is easy,
Where all is given in the instant;
There exists in the midst of time
The possibility of an island.”
