Amy | 12988 comments 3.5 stars. Plus its 2013. Eerie, chilling, haunting. I couldn't put it down. Much like Rose's feelings towards Odalie, I found it entrancing, captivating, engrossing. Psychologically rich and complex. The kind of book you stay up all night to finish, and feel haunted by afterward. I greatly enjoyed it, and noticed as soon as I went to write my review, that a number of my friends have read this one as well, and also fell under its spell.

Your review makes it sound like more than 3.5. What didn't you like about it?


Ladyslott | 1880 comments I rated this book 4 stars. It had the potential for 5 but the ambiguous ending left me with too many questions.


Book Concierge (tessabookconcierge) | 8458 comments A solid 4 stars from me ... and I love an ambiguous ending!

Amy | 12988 comments Fine, four! I was close to that anyway! I think the only thing that gave me pause, which was part of the chill of the book was her behavior with the detective at the end. I felt unsettled. I also like things tied up better. I was also aware that I could have shelved it as dark, but didn't... My light optimistic Pollyanna side shining through? In any case, four it is! You gals keep me on my toes. Now starting Lila.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you think about Lila.

Amy | 12988 comments Just started it. Good reads tells me it's a 3rd in the series and I wonder if that will make a difference...

??? The Other Typist isn't part of a series ....

Amy | 12988 comments Sorry to be confusing. Denizen just asked me about Lila, and that appears to be Gilead #3. That these characters and town are previously known, whereas I am starting with just this book. The Other Typist stands alone.
