Title: Intriguing concept, but something's missing
Product review: Initially, I thought this book would be a very interesting read. The concept of a young girl narrating the story from heaven is very novel. The description of her rape and murder is graphic, scary, and attention grabbing. Unfortunately, by the end of the book, there is not a single reason to care about any of the characters. With the exception of the protagonist, they are flat and unidimensional. And if you don't feel emotionally attached to the characters, then it is very difficult to actually care about what is going on in the book. I read the first half of the book in a couple of days - - and the remainder seemed to take literally forever to get though. I must have missed something because the critics loved it.
