I honesty think this is Harris' best book. I truly do.To talk to much about the plot is to give away a bit too many spoilers, and part of the joy of the book is the mystery so, let's not do that. What I love, besides the mystery, is the look at class, gender, and blind love that we can't fully ratio...
All through this book I really hated the psychotic villain and seriously intended to give the book 2 stars (and that only for the impeccable writing style).The finale altered it all.

I thought this book was superb. Although I figured out the "twist in the tail of the tale" very early on, I really enjoyed it. There were so many reflections of my own school life in the book, that empathy was easy for me.The reason that I don't give it five stars is that I found that the pace dragg...
