Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Wow, I was really surprised, given the good reviews this book seemed to have, just how horrid it turned out to be. I am careful as I can be about the books I am going to purchase and normally after reading the actual book description, it's based in large part on the popularity and good reviews it gets. The majority of the time I am more or less in agreement when I'm finished reading that book. Not this time. While trying to not give anything away, I will say this book starts out okay, but be warned, it gets nasty fairly quick. Two of the main characters are pretty disgusting, cringe-worthy individuals to start with. Then there's the heroine of the story who goes to hell and back and back and back again (and you get the gist) to the degree of utter ridiculousness to save the poor child victim in this whole, overly dramatic, gross saga. It just got so unbelievable that I started skipping pages. And the cringe part never let up to the point that I just couldn't wait for it to be over. The ending was just a relief, really. So maybe I didn't vet the book enough or somehow missed the warning somewhere, but this was definitely not the book for me.
