Reviews

[Aoibhínn · Rating 2 out of 5]

The initial premise of this novel seems quite intriguing and promising but it very quickly degenerates into a very clichéd and mundane story. This is a book of two stories, the first that of a little girl abducted by someone dressed as a rabbit. The witness has a second story of her childhood experiences when another adult who dressed as a rabbit disappeared, along with his daughter. The story of the modern day abduction felt incredibly contrived and extremely far-fetched, and it felt like the author had decided who would be the least likely person to have carried out the abduction, and made the story fit this person. The second story of the narrator's childhood became too predictable to me early on and I found myself skimming past those parts because it was dull and boring.

I can't say I was gripped or that I cared for any of the characters. The character of Rhonda, the narrator, was quite one-dimensional; we don't get a particularly strong idea of her as a person, other than that she's overweight and has had a sad, pathetic crush on Peter for most of her life. We don't know much more about her by the end of the book either, except that she had a very close friend who also went missing. I found the whole "rabbit theme" in this novel to be just plain stupid and annoying, and I think this story could have been a much better one without the use of all the rabbit, submarine and Peter Pan stuff.

Don't waste your time on this novel. Two stars.

Edited to change misinformation. While it did not change from first to third person it still was not written well and the story was not done well.

That should only be 1.5 stars and that is being generous. The main character, Rhonda, is just annoying. She's been pining away after Peter, her childhood friend since she was eleven, but she's twenty three now and has made no move to get a life. She's just graduated from college and is getting gas when she sees a person dressed in a bunny suit abduct a small girl. And Rhonda does nothing. She does nothing. Seriously. I should have put down the book then, but I just couldn't.

Instead I kept reading about characters I just didn't care about. I had figured out the big mystery in Peter and Rhonda's past long before the author spells it out. As for the abduction that Rhonda witnesses at the beginning of the book...the author never really wraps that up. Two people are arrested and one tells a story of what happened, but no proof is ever found. And the author just leaves it like that for the reader. It's not satisfying. The other story line from Rhonda's past is tied up in a neat little package though.

The premise of this book was promising, but the author just didn't do it justice.

[Pete Sikora · Rating 2 out of 5]

When you walk into some restaurants, you know they're designed by consultants. That's this book's feel - assembled from a marketing menu.

(reader note: I am revealing a plot detail - stop now if you care) Just like with a restaurant consultant bringing in mini-burgers, we get the short chapters... we get the carefully designed cover... we get the molested kid. And we get the faux-suspense, with a set-up for twists at the end. Alas - the last fifty pages suck too.

The two minutes it will take you to read this book will be lost forever - so don't bother. But at least it was short enough that I don't feel too annoyed for having to read this for my book group - at least it was quick.

Genre: Mystery/Thriller

This book was pretty good, although after reading the blurb I was expecting a bit more. You see, the blurb leads you to believe that this story is going to be insanely creepy (i.e. a person in a rabbit costume kidnaps a girl...) but I felt a little let down because it honestly wasn't creepy at all. Instead, we are taken on a "hunt" with the heroine and trying to figure out the pieces not only to this one disappearance, but some that have taken place in the past. So overall, I was pretty let down with this aspect of the story - it simply didn't deliver like I expected it too.

On the other hand, Jennifer McMahon is an excellent writer and she really does write stories that keep you guessing all the way through. This is not different with this story. I will admit though that I do prefer her newer stories as they have a bit more flair.

Overall, this is a good book, but nothing spectacular. I do recommend reading anything by the author though as her books are insanely good.

[Heidi (can’t retire soon enough) · Rating 3 out of 5]

For me this book started a little slowly -- lots of characters blurred between two time periods so I slightly lost track of the main plot line. About a few chapters in I was hooked and read the rest of this tangled web of a mystery in one sitting.

Overall, a pretty good read, but the hurried, early peaking ending of one of the plot lines seemed an amateur way to segue to the ending. I kept thinking it should have been better!

[Krissy · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was just as awesome as the other one I've read from Jennifer. I would recommend these books to anyone who likes a good mystery, since both times I thought I had it figured out but then I turned out to be all wrong. And I love it when that happens!! Hopefully she will continue to come up with such amazing stories.

REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS
This book was not great. It was just mildly interesting enough to get me to finish, but that is the best I can say. First of all, Rhonda is a bit pathetic. Who would sit by and watch as a creepy bunny takes a child from a car? Also, you know the child and you do not even bother to get the license plate number. How basic is that? Especially if it was the car of a person you knew and somebody else wearing A rabbit costume was driving it. Of course the mother is mad at you. Who wouldn't be? And let's remember that this is the same small town where another child was just adducted also. Rhonda is not very bright as she believes it is impossible that a man ( Daniel) Who disappeared more than a decade ago could have had anything to do with this. Why is that such a leap? Because it sounds like this town is Creepy Central. Trudy is also an idiot. Your child told you she missed the bus multiple times and a six-foot rabbit brought her home but you're not going to look into that? No, instead let's go to the gas station and leave her in the car while we run in for our lottery tickets and cigarettes. Great parenting, Mom. But do get mad at Rhonda also. I still support that. Apparently the whole town is sharing one brain.
Now let's get to the children's production of Peter Pan in 1993. I realize that this is the theme for the book. However, most kids backyard plays are not this big of a deal. My suspension of disbelief is not strong enough to convince me this play ran for weeks on end including a final performance with the feast served at the end, or that a 14 year old kid directed this elaborate 2 hour production complete with elaborate costumes and special effects. Who is making up these audiences night after night? Who besides the parents ever attended? I also have a hard time believing that a nickname which came about as a result of this play would lead to a grown woman changing her name and keeping it that way forever (Tock). Get a life, Tock. Also, the scene where Tock douses the arrow in the lighter fluid and sends it soaring to the stage seems highly implausible. I think she would have either missed or set herself on fire. Who do you think you are, Catnis?
The part about Rhonda and Warren is also very strange. I find it hard to believe that Rhonda, a virgin, would be so forward in getting Warron to sleep with her. And I cannot imagine that they are kissing, leaning against the wall with the endless drawings of the dissected rabbits And that is somehow going to enhance the mood. then the next morning she casually slips into a robe and makes coffee for the two of them well they snuggle on the couch. But Don't worry, they are watching the VHS tape of the creepy play because apparently there is nothing else to think about or discuss. Also, Rhonda has yet another dream about Peter with rabbit metaphors and of course has to share this with Warren because she is the worst.
Let me say I understand what McMahon was trying to do with the whole creepy fairytale symbolism but it fell a little short in the execution. If I would have taken a shot every time the word rabbit was used in this book I would have died from alcohol poisoning. It's overkill. Even the stupid VW is a rabbit. Are you kidding me? We get it, OK? I have a migraine from all of these metaphors beating me upside the head over and over again. So much eye rolling. So very much rolling of the eyes. I still love Jennifer McMahon but this is not her finest work.( check out "Dismantled"-so good)
In closing, I will say I still have questions. I do not understand exactly what happened to Birdie. I do not understand any motivation Pat would have had for abducting Ernie. It makes zero sense as to why Warron would have agreed to be a part of this. I will also say as soon as Lizzy started being described as letting herself get dirty and smelling bad as Captain Hook, I knew immediately that somebody was being molested. This took the creepiness factor to a whole different level where I did not want to go. Thankfully the book was not very long because I am glad it is over.

[Lisa · Rating 4 out of 5]

I recently read a positive review of this novel and picked it up at a local bookshop. The main character, Rhonda, is filling her car with gas at a local gas station and witnesses a person dressed in a rabbit costume abduct a 6 year old girl while the girl's mother is inside the station buying lottery tickets. Riddled with guilt over her failure to take action, Rhonda becomes obsessed with aiding in the search for the little girl and does an investigation of her own. At the same time, Rhonda confronts her own questions about what happened to her childhood best friend, Lizzy, who disappeared at age 14. This novel takes many twists and turns and reads as a fascinating mystery, invoking morbid curiosity in the reader. I did not at all expect the outcome. This novel deals with dark subject matter, but is compelling.

This one was weird and not in a good weird kind of way

[S · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book is a bit hard to rate. Parts of it were good, parts were... not so good. The description led me to believe that there would be some sort of strong tie-in between two separate disappearances, but it hardly even got into one of them. I was certain of at least part of the conclusion from nearly the beginning, though a part of it surprised me. Two of three twists/surprises I had figured out from a few chapters in. The last left me feeling meh. And I did have a major problem with part of the story - I was horrified at how Lizzy's continuous sexual abuse was handled. An eleven year old girl is continuously raped by her father, and as adults, she and her friends don't bring it up? They figure, oh the dude is dead, anyhow, and we killed him, so let's just let everyone think he was a good guy mixed up in gambling. WHAT? That right pissed me off. Even worse was the insinuation that Rhonda's mom knew, and did nothing about it - not Lizzy's rape or Daniel's murder. That killed the book for me

So, I'd not likely recommend this book. It's a bit forgettable, a bit predictable, and a lot irritating (see spoiler). I fought to get through the middle of the book, but some of the chapters, not a lot of them, but some, were quite enjoyable. Hence being odd to rate. I guess I can say it was alright. Not much better than that, though.

ревью на русском/review in russian

I guess it's the only McMahon book so far without a paranormal hint. Refreshing)

I liked the writing, the story flowed. But I found here a few cards the author had already played in her other works. And all of them are TW. They are spoiler-ish: sexual assault of a child, children traumatized by witnessing death, child kidnapping, a lot of crap things related to little ones.

The characters are well-developed. Some make you sympathize with them, some get on your nerves. The twists made me mad not because they were bad or predictable, no. Because of what they were. When I read smth like that I'm getting so angry, ugh. All in all, pick up this book if you want to learn more about a tiny city with many secrets, where people get lost the found and some only as bodies.

I'm just starting this book but I'm finding myself stuck on this: "Trudy's nails were no joke. They were two inches long, filed to points, and showed off a fresh coat of reddish orange that reminded Rhonda of a bleeding Creamsicle."

Ummm... What? is that supposed to be a real person?

update-finished

This was a quick and easy read for me. The plot was not terribly simple and only slightly predictable. This is certainly not a piece of literary art. However, it's interesting enough to be a good way to pass time.

[Sandi Van · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was hard to get into at first, but it ends up being a decent little mystery that I couldn't put down for the last 50 or so pages. A young woman witnesses a kidnapping but does nothing to stop it. Her guilt sends her on the quest to find the kidnapper (who happens to be dressed as a rabbit) who she worries might be her childhood love. The book alternates between the present (2006) and the past (1993), to a memorable summer that slowly unravels clues to the mystery. There really are two separate plots here that are weakly tied together. But once I got the characters straight, it was an enjoyable read with some good suspense.

[Kara Thomas · Rating 4 out of 5]

A quick moving story told in two timelines with overlapping characters. I am the same age as the main characters so I could picture myself in 1993 putting on shoes with my friends. There was plenty of drama during my time, but luckily it was no where near what was featured in the story.

This is a story of memories and filling in the blanks, of giant white rabbits, yellow submarines and Neverland. I really enjoyed the novel, perhaps not quite to the extent of The Winter People, but my second favorite of what I've read by McMahon.

Some Favorite Passages:

"You did nothing!" Trudy called back. "You sat on your fucking fat ass and watched my little girl get taken away!"
_______
". . . I'll be damned if that little twat is going to sit on her fat ass eating my sandwiches thinking she's some kind of fucking hero when it's her fault Ernie is gone!"
_______

"Cemeteries are so intriguing," he said. "Each stone its own little mystery, right?"

"I used to come here all the time when I was a kid," Rhonda confessed. "I'd sit right there, over Hattie, and try to make sense of the world." But that was in another time, when I was Wendy and Peter was a boy dressed in a suit of leaves, who promised never to grow old . . . "
______

"I don't know. But I think you should listen to your dream. Study it. Write it down. Draw it. You're an artist. Make a picture showing what happened."
"And this is going to help how exactly?"
"Maybe it'll take you deeper," Warren said.
"Deeper where?"
"Down the rabbit hole," he said.
______

Maybe Ernie was in outer space, Rhonda thought. Like the cow that jumped over the moon. Maybe that's where the rabbit took her in his submarine. Maybe Rabbit Island was up there somewhere, its own kind of heaven.
______

"We can't just invent truths that don't exist. We have to face the reality of the situation, no matter how grim."
______

It's all come crashing down. The rabbit suit is unpacked from its secret hiding place in a box at the back of the closet no would ever think to look in. A faux fur pelt. Enormous ears, pink inside. Oh, the secrets those ears have heard! The heady secrets of little girls, whispered in soft, sugary breaths.
One last time, the rabbit suit will worn. One last time, Peter Rabbit will come to life.
______

All you can do is pull back the curtain, thinking you half-remember the way back. Second star to the right, and straight on till morning. And there, through the window, at the edge of the horizon, is the crocodile's smile, Peter's crow, and his adamant line - I shall never grow up! - called out in a voice cracking with change.
"Second star to the right, and straight on till morning," Rhonda said there in her Wendy nightgown, and she also heard herself say it in some alternate universe, where she was a grown woman trying to find her way back.
______

"Sometimes you make up a lie and it becomes this safe little house you live inside," Warren said. "But it's not really safe. The foundation is bad, ready to crumble and the people you invite inside with you, they're all in danger, too."
______

Was that what all this had been? Rhonda wondered. A fable in which the rabbit plays a terrible trick, but at the end they all learn a lesson? But what could possibly be the moral here?
______

And, as Rhonda told the story, she thought this is how the past gets passed down. This is how memories are made. Half-invented, embellished, given a touch of whimsy.

[Sarah · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book was a bit of a mess. In my quest to find another author of a good thriller I stumbled upon this book which I was assured was on the same level as a Chevy Stevens novel. Let me assure you that this is indeed not anywhere near that level. In fact I suspect that Chevy Stevens could write a more thrilling grocery list than this. I should have known anything that starts with someone being kidnapped by a dude in a bunny suit just doesn't have the makings of a good thriller. I was willing to forgive this major flaw and against my better judgement carried on reading hoping it would get better. I'll save you the suspense, it didn't get an ounce better than this. I don't want to spoil the plot just in case you feel like wasting several hours of your life and want to read it yourself, so I'll just say that when the mysteries are finally solved it's stupid, predictable and doesn't really make a whole lot of sense. I will give this author another shot though, since even good authors have a dud every now and then and the writing style was enjoyable, but I will be sure to read the plot synopsis beforehand next time and avoid anything with bunnies in it.

[Cristine Mermaid · Rating 4 out of 5]

Addictive with it's twists and turns. At first, there were way too many characters to keep straight but that may have had to do with the fact that I wasn't able to read without massive interruptions. The characters were interesting, complex and almost exaggerated but in an appealing way. The book seems to be about one thing, "who is the bunny who kidnapped the girl" but was more about the main character's journey to self and understanding her past and her present. I did figure out the BIG SECRET way before the end but I still was enthralled with reading how it all played out. As far as "who is the bunny", she did a fantastic job of leading your mind toward many possibilities before arriving at the conclusion. Quite a ride. This is not a typical genre for me but a friend recommended the author and now it's 2 for 2.

[Dawn G · Rating 5 out of 5]

I believe this is my favorite book of 2015! McMahon established herself as a story teller with this one; not all authors, even some of those whose books I have also given 5 stars, are worthy of that title. Intricately woven plot, good character development and surprise after surprise made me finish this book in two sittings. Were there a few things that made me scratch my head and say, "What the....?", yes. However; it was in the way McMahon revealed the story, like peeling back layers of an onion yet keeping it all connected. It was in the way McMahon kept the relationships so real, so deep, yet fragile. Finally, it was in the way McMahon took me back to my own childhood, reminiscing and giving a lot of thought to my relationships and how I spent my days as a child. This is an author I will definitely keep my eye on.

[Babus Ahmed · Rating 3 out of 5]

Somehow this kidnap thriller mystery mostly missed the mark for me. I didn't find it awful but just wasn't interested or invested in the characters enough to really like it. I could feel the intrigue but the lacklustre characters did not set off the story like I hoped.

This read definitely has a few twists but overall seemed a mediocre and sometimes laborious read.

[Sara Strand · Rating 5 out of 5]

Now, I've reviewed another book by this author and I was blown away. I will say that this book captured me right away and I really like how this author creates a story line and builds characters. I may not always like the character (and truth be told I felt like punching Rhonda for being a whining baby about everything and is just too "woe is me" for me to like her.) but I like the role they play in the story.

I felt this book really captured the fascination of child abductions and it made you feel not only like this was a real story but also that you were involved. I mean, how many of you would do anything but stare at a person dressed up like a rabbit taking a kid out of a car? Honestly? I think we'd all be so dumbfounded we'd just stare. And it's true- how many kids go missing in the light of day with people around? It happens. But what I really liked is that this book had a good mystery to it and I did NOT see the ending coming. Not at all. Usually I have a hunch but this time I was totally blown away.

The story has so many twists and turns, as well as flashes back to childhood and then you realize that really- it's like three stories into one. I didn't even see where it was all going until I got to the end. The author keeps you on the edge of your seat and you think she can't possibly wrap it up- but then... bam. She not only wrapped it up, but it's logical and a great ending. You don't feel cheated.

[Jeanette · Rating 5 out of 5]

Luckily, there's no sophomore slump here. If anything in her new novel, Jennifer McMahon's writing is even more assured. She brings back many of the elements of mystery and memory that made her debut PROMISE NOT TO TELL such as success.

Rhonda Farr never expected to get caught in the middle of a crime. On her way to a job interview, sitting in her car at the gas station, she watches as someone in a big white rabbit costume grabs a young girl from a nearby car. Confused by the absurdity of the incident, Rhonda can only watch—paralyzed. Afterward, Rhonda’s guilt thrusts her into the middle of the hunt to find the little girl. As she gets closer and closer to the truth behind the bizarre kidnapping, she’ll also uncovers deep secrets—and another mysterious disappearance—from her childhood.

What McMahon is able to do so well, is keep the reader guessing while at the same time drawing them into the drama of Rhonda's childhood circle of friends, who have never been completely honest with her. Equally adept at writing beautiful imagery and enduring characters, while still building dramatic tension as she uncovers the crime, McMahon deftly handles difficult subjects such as kidnapping and child abuse while still keeping the reader turning the page.

[Bandit · Rating 3 out of 5]

Jennifer McMahon seems to be one of those writers who gets better with time or age. Since I have been reading her books out of chronological order, it's a bit disorienting, but her debut novel was an ok read, this sophomore effort a bit better and Dismantled was significantly better, which, of course, leaves a reader excited to watch this author's progress and looking forward to new books. McMahon has a schtick that works for her and her books are all a variation of the tightly knit circle of friends from the past, disappearing and reemerging years later, family secrets coming to surface, dark childhood secrets, etc. The thing is the schtick works and well, and I'm not even a fan of mysteries finding them mostly trite and predictable,but McMahon always manages to surprise. She's excellent at juxtaposing the past and present events, creating interesting sympathetic characters and keeping up the pace and suspense throughout, which always makes for a quick fun read. Recommended.

Polisiye ile haşır neşir olan okuyucu için çok da etkileyici olmayan ama kendini okutacak yeterliliğe de sahip bir roman. Kitaptan kopmayacak düzeyde bir gizem veriyor size kitap ama aman aman da şaşırtmıyor. Kitap tam olarak "bak sana bunu şüpheli olarak gösteriyoruz ama tamamen farklı bir kişi çıkacak" hissiyatını veriyor. Okurken Peter'ın suçlu çıkmayacağını ama onun altından başka bir gizemin aydınlanacağını düşünmüştüm ki öyle çıktı. Warren'ı böyle beyaz atlı prens gibi sunsalar da şüpheli olduğunu hissedebilirsiniz. Daniel & Lizzy kaybının doğrudan Ernie olayıyla bağlanacağını düşünmüştüm ama tamamen bağımsız bir konu çıkması gerçekten şaşırtıcıydı. Lizzy'nin dönüşü çok yüzeysel geldi, geçiştirilmişti.

I think this is the 6th book I’ve read by @jennifermcmahonwrites she has easily become a top author for me and an autobuy.

This book was different from the others I’ve read, there was no paranormal aspect, this book was heartbreaking. There were many twists along the way, and multiple villains. I absolutely loved the different timelines and how all the secrets no matter how dark they were came out in the end. I definitely recommend giving this a read.

McMahon does for the Easter Bunny in Island what Steven King did for clowns in It

[Christie (The Ludic Reader) · Rating 3 out of 5]

Rhonda Farr, the protagonist of Jennifer McMahon’s second novel Island of Lost Girls, has stopped at the Mini Mart for gas when she sees something that sends her reeling back through her past. A gold VW Beetle pulls up next to her, a car she recognizes, but instead of being driven by the eccentric Laura Lee, it’s being driven by a large, white rabbit.

…when the rabbit got out of the car, there in the Pat’s Mini Mart parking lot at quarter to three on a Monday afternoon, it didn’t occur to Rhonda that there might be a person inside. He hopped like a bunny, moved quickly, nervously, jerking his white head one way, then the other. He turned toward Rhonda, and for an instant he seemed to stare at her with his blind plastic eyes.

While Rhonda watches, the rabbit knocks on the door of another car parked in the lot and leads little Ernestine Florucci, whose mother is inside the store, away. It is from this absurd beginning that Jennifer McMahon (Promise Not to Tell, Dismantled, The Winter People) spins the tale of not one missing girl, but two.

Rhonda, perhaps out of guilt, decides to help with the search effort and to do a little investigating of her own. She’s aided by Warren, Pat’s nephew. Pike’s Crossing is a small place, and Rhonda knows everyone. Trying to help find Ernestine also brings back a wave of memories about Lizzy, Rhonda’s childhood best friend who also went missing many years ago. It also brings to mind the summer they spent together launching a production of Peter Pan with Lizzie’s older brother, Peter, who is the object of Rhonda’s unrequited affection and also her dearest friend. As she searches for clues, Rhonda comes to suspect that Peter might have something to do with Ernestine’s disappearance.

There is a mystery, well two mysteries, at the centre of McMahon’s novel and I think she successfully pushes the plot of both along, switching between the past and present with ease. (I read the book in pretty much one sitting, which is about a good a recommendation as I can offer, really.)

This is also a book about the loss of innocence. Rhonda loses hers when she discovers family secrets, and when she realizes her feelings towards Peter are not returned. It also ruminates on the end of childhood. Rhonda recalls her role as Wendy in Peter Pan and remembers saying her lines and having “a sudden vision of herself as an adult,saying that line quietly on some far-off night as she stared up at the sky, like it might help bring her back.”

I haven’t always liked everything McMahon has written, but I did enjoy this book. (Really 3.5 stars)

[Debra K · Rating 4 out of 5]

If it is possible to say for a mystery thriller style book but this was a fun read! Being such a short book, it certainly does pack a punch and fits in quite a lot of twists and turns along the way.

There are two separate main time lines in this story - one is back in the past and the disappearance of Lizzie and one is the disappearance of a new girl. Both had mention of a rabbit in some way - either they were in the woods with a rabbit or was taken by someone dressed as one. This is one of those classic who done it and are they going to find the girl alive type stories but it is exactly what I wanted when I picked up this story and exactly what I got.

I was not surprised by much of the story, including the twists and turns, but the story of getting to the end was really fun and the writing was so easy to follow with the plot being fast paced, which is exactly what it should be.
