While I really liked the book I totally agree with you about the ending, too twisted. The final scene in the karaoke place was too long in my opinion, it felt dragged, too complicated. isaac genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04213184333110970830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-11208963007911563202014-01-14T21:28:36.695-06:002014-01-14T21:28:36.695-06:00TracyK: Thanks for the comment.

And on another note I agree with you about the violence level in some of this series ('though I confess I've not (yet) read this one). But I'm not one for a whole lot of graphic violence anyway unless it's critical to the plot. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
