Step on a crack

I really enjoyed this book, and I loved that it kept me thinking. I liked that you didn't know what was going to happen. In most books I already know what the ending is going to be after you're a quarter of a way through. When the ending came in this book, i was completely surprised. I liked the book was really creepy but still very realistic. A lot of books have you thinking,'that would never really happen.' And I loved that the book talked alot about the subconscious and psycological things, Im really into all of that stuff. All of the characters had very different personalities and very different relationships with each other. I would recommend this book to pretty much anyone that likes to read. Its a quick and fast, but interesting, read. And it leaves you thinking and wondering about the way that things happen.

Cryptic Mystery that will keep you guessing

This is a brilliant complicated tale that will leave you reeling. The protagonist is a young high school girl who keeps a terrible secret-kleptomania from her mother and glamorous traveling father. Plagued by weird dreams incorporating characters from Alice In Wonderland (!)the girl turns to a smart bookish friend for help. This book is filled with vivid description and deals with a fascinating mystery. Its a great read.
