As the author I love the mystery part the best. I wrote the story wanting the reader to know as much as the main character and not bring in any red herring from out in left field at the end. The story tells the tale of Alex who is a lesbian and teaches English at a private girl's school. From the first day of school Alex finds herself the subject of an unwanted admirer. But the main focus is on her relationship and how she sees its short comings during these stressful times. If you have ever been in a stressful position then you can relate to Alex only seeing her side for the most part. In order to see her girlfriend's side and delve into that aspect I would have needed another 20k words at least to provide a fair view. But then this book is the first in a series and I'll try to give the girlfriend her day in court. If anything I've been told it's and easy read and will worth the time to read - if for only the mystery. Thanks, G L McCarthy

Like a lot of people, this was my first exposure to Kurt Vonnegut. Although this is not, by far, my favorite of his works, it is a great place to start, because unlike most of his fantastical journeys, this one is based in World War II. My favorite element to Slaughterhouse Five is how Vonnegut writes himself into the book in the first chapter. Vonnegut is always worth readinf, if only to see how to get away with breaking all of the "rules of writing."

I really dig this book. The multiple perspectives give such insight into a woman attempting to block out her self from her consciousness... this was her first novel and it shows so much promise and hints of her future career.
