This book has been difficult for me to both read and review. I found the storyline itself to be fascinating, with twists and turns and a shocking ending. Although I enjoyed the storyline, I had a difficult time with the main character, Rusty Sabich. Rusty came across as a woman hater, very crass and a user, and no matter how much I wanted to enjoy the story, I despised Rusty, and it made the story almost a chore for me to get through.
I had a huge love/hate relationship with this book. It is a good suspenseful read, but I just couldn't get past the dislike for the main character. It produced a lot of strong emotions on my part. All in all, it is still an interesting and captivating book.
Parental note - This book is an adult book. The content is strong in both language, violence and sexuality.
