Rating: Summary: Very Distrubing Review: This Book Is Very DISTRUBING! The book is written well as far as MHC's deatails, maybe a bit too good. Yet the subject matter is very distrubing and the ending is preposterous. The main character Laurie, would need many years of agressive therapy, and most likely hospitalization. MHC's, ending of Lauries Super quick recovery is absurd. The two villains are just down right evil, and there is no real conclusion as to what happened to the disgusting opal.

Rating: Summary: disturbing though captivating Review: This story's subject, child molestation and multiple personalities, was disturbing. The story, hopefully completely fictional, left me ill at ease.

Rating: Summary: Her Worst! Review: Mary Higgins Clark is one of my favorite authors and I have enjoyed most of her work but I didn't like All Around The Town it was too depressing and the only MHC book that I found too creepy, those perverts Bic and Opal made my skin crawl and they made me want to puke!
Rating: Summary: All Around the Town Review: This was the first book that I read from Mary Higgins Clark and it is definitely one of the best!Laurie was kidnapped as a young child and mysteriously set free two years later. The young girl completely blocked out the time that she spent with her kidnappers. So much so, that she developed multiple personality disorder that surface every time something traumatic happens in her life. After the death of her parents, they have resurfaced. Now one of Laurie's professors has been brutally murdered. Was Laurie responsible? She doesn't know!
Rating: Summary: Poor little Laurie Review: Mary Higgins Clark did a wonderful job of profiling the impact of childhood trauma on young adulthood. Well do we all know that that if you create a distrubed child you can be assured of a psychologically disturbed adult. Little Laurie was traumatized when she was abducted at age 4. At age 18, she is a psychologically disturbed young college students. This book delves into multiple personalities and the impact these personalities have on little Laurie and those around her. Do give this book a good read and see what you think. ---Beverly C. Sanders
Rating: Summary: Intriguing Review: All Around The Town was the first novel by Mary Higgins Clark I read, and based on it, I have become an avid fan of ANYTHING by the brilliant novelist. The book details a childhood trauma victim being investigated for a murder she is sure she didn't commit. However, as they dig deeper into her memory they uncover more and more that could incriminate her... or someone else. The most intruiging, suspenseful I have ever read, and probably ever will.
Rating: Summary: Sweet Review: Mary Higgins Clark did an sweet job of writing All Around Town. She did an awesome job of creating a good good setting, having suspense and making an overall good book. Don't start reading unless you don't want to stop. I read this book in 2 school days. To put it simply, this is a good book and if all of her books are this good you can expect me to read all of them I can get my eyes and hands on.
