This book sucked! I just finished it and am EXTREMELY disappointed. It started very slow, but I wasn’t going to quit after I’d already started it. It’s entirely too long. The story could have been told alot faster than it was. And speaking of the story, the author never finishes it! Very annoying after I’ve read through the whole thing to not have the biggest question answered! Sure it’s maybe a realistic ending to this type of story, but this is not reality! It’s a novel, and she should have finished the story! Period! I will not recommend this read to anyone, and won’t be reading anything else by this author.

I hate it that the book's ending disappointed you. I am glad to see you were able to find things to enjoy about it as well, though. I am still undecided if I want to read this one or not. Maybe I will put it off for a while. I have enough to read anyway! lol .-= Rebecca´s last blog ..How Well Read Are You? =-.

Like Dawn, I don't even own these yet. But I've meaning to read them. I'll remember that the first half may be better than the second. .-= Beth F´s last blog ..Awards! Creative Rock 'n' Roll =-.

No, Margot’s not the last to read this book … I don’t have either Tana French waiting on my TBR yet. They’ve caught my eye, and I’ve read reviews with similar thoughts to yours. Interesting that so many have read both books and thought THE LIKENESS was “tighter”. I will get to them eventually; thanks for your honest review.

I guess I'm the only one who hasn't read this book. Your review has me wanting to know more, especially if it's so well written. Sounds like if I decide to read it I really have to commit to two books. But, thank you for an honest review that didn't give away the mystery. .-= Margot´s last blog ..Update: Julie & Julia – The Movie =-.

I can totally agree with you and understand the mixed feelings about In The Woods. It was so well written and the characters were really interesting, and though yes the ending was realistic, I still wanted a little more. I really think that The Likeness improves on In The Woods 100%. It is fabulous. .-= Nicole´s last blog ..Wife of the Gods, by Kwei Quartey =-.
