I first read this book when I was a teenager; rereading it now, I rank it as the best of Duncan's yummy books. It's much more well-written, and much subtler, than you would expect. It's a sad story, and also a bit romantic, oddly--the relationship between Mr. Griffin and his wife is so utterly sweet, and I think it is the part of the story that hit me the hardest--the sadness has depth, and it can be appreciated even more when you read it as an adult. The character of the main villain in this story chills me, because people like this do exist, and they can influence other people. Just a really good story that keeps you hooked the entire time. I never saw the movie so I didn’t know what to expect with this book. I thought it was fine, not bad but not great either. I do appreciate that seeing a therapist was put in a positive light. I’m pretty sure that when this was written in 1978 that that wasn’t a prevailing thought. As always, the ending is abrupt and I have come to expect this from Lois Duncan books. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
