I didn't really "get" the chance ... I seized it!! Lisa - thanks so much! I'm glad you offered me a spot on the tour. The novel really grabbed me, and Kirk has been a pleasure to work with. Serena - The ways he portrayed the reactions of parents (of murdered children, missing children, and "safe" spectators) was interesting; how difficult it is to predict how an individual will react Anna - Saying I 'enjoyed' the book isn't the right word, but I couldn't put it down, so I'll stick with "gripping" Shana – I don’t usually get the opportunity to read in long sittings like that.

Not sure another writer could have tackled this subject so well. Great review! You’re right–the book was hard to read and Curnutt is a great writer.

I really admire Curnutt's use of metaphor and language and his ability to show us this deeply painful world.
