Title: Macabre and tedious at the same time
Product review: This is a story that indulges a taste for the horrific details of a loathsome crime, the capture, rape, murder and dismemberment of a young girl. The storyline is, on the surface, awful indeed, but the hype surrounding the book led me to believe that the novel rose above that to deliver some uplifting message. Acquaintances who had read the book said it was pretty good.Why?Can people be so insecure about their own mortality that they are willing to grasp at straws such as these for reassurance?This story just made me feel bad. If I could give it less than one star, I would.
