Summary: This novel is pure trash
Review: I am not a puritan, but this is the most disgusting piece of trash I have ever read. I have never read as many references to body parts and bodily functions as this. He mentions body parts hundreds of times in each chapter. Mr McKay is obsessive about genitals and feels that he must pass this on to the readers. I listened to the whole audio book hoping it would get better. It didn't. I threw it away. I have listened to hundreds of books and I have never thrown one out.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Yuck!
Review: After reading through the early reviews for this book I purchased the unabridged audiobook version thinking I'd be listening to a great story. Not! I found the book boring, hard to listen to, and very choppy. In fact, I gave up on the 3rd tape, and there are 5 more to go. I'll likely force myself to try and listen again -- since I spent my money on the darned tapes -- but it'll be a while.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Clumsy first attempt
Review: I enjoyed the papercuts that I got from this novel more than the story itself. An attempt to be profound and sensual falls short, leaving the reader wondering why they dropped $20 on the hardcover edition. (oops)

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: The cover is better than the book!!!
Review: This book was written like it was a play. The story was not "real" at all. Maude, she was smart and then so dumb. The best part of the book is the last chapter, because you want to find out what is going to happen to Toyer. Telen, how can you fall in love with your X-lovers friend so quickly?? The books was just not believable.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Tends to drag a bit
Review: Different from other suspense novels, but is a bit too long and can be rather boring at times. I was hoping for something similiar to the James Patterson books, but was disaapointed. Overall, not a horrible book, but not exactly what I was looking for.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good but have read better
Review: It was a page turner; but there were parts I could not figure out - like the" uncastables". I also felt like it was too choppy, did not flow. I thought Maude was a little unbelievable. All in all, it is O.K. but I would wait for paperback

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Highly recommended
Review: Strong characters, not always acting in believable ways - but gripping nonetheless. A book that tells you where it's going almost from the beginning, yet the narrative and characterizations keep you reading.

Toyer and his opposite Maude are drawn into each other, brought together by his hate, and her compassion for his victims.

Awesome - the best book I've read in a very long time.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: An addictive page turner
Review: From the first incident in the book I felt I was hooked. The description of how Toyer ended up with the first victim in the book really bothered me. When a book can do that I know to read on. I found this book very different from most other psycho-thrillers that I have read. I found this one to be more believable. The characters were well-rounded and understandable. Toyer is a man not to be understood or trusted. A real page turner. It's quick sentences were the only thing that threw my off a bit on this book but, otherwise I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Couldn't put it down until I was finished
Review: I was hooked from the first chapter, I love suspense novels and have never read one with such a unusual premise before. I can hardly wait to read his next one. The only thing that almost put me off the book was the cover and title. I picked it up, then almost put it back cover didn't do a thing for me,no clue to what the book was about, pertaining to suspense.Next book, please design a catchy cover.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A page-turning thriller!
Review: I was initially drawn to the book because the different covers caught my eye, a black woman on one, asian woman on another and a white woman on another. Catchy packaging! From the time I picked this book up until the time I finished, I was on the edge. Not only were the characters and plot believeable but it scared the crap out of me. As a single woman living alone, I was impressed with our heroine, she didn't once trip in her high heels or break down in tears or cop out in the end!
