- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Of all the plotless, self-indulgent, meandering, drag-as-many-outlandish-character-names-in-as-possible books I have read by Barbara Vine, I think this is the very worst
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I loved this book. A coming-up-age story with electricity. Literally.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A departure for Rendell/Vine who usually writes superb murder mysteries. I find the writing here superior to her mystery work, she takes chances and uses her skill at getting in her character's heads to tracing the mental illness brought on by a teenagers shame over her guilt in a friend's death towards resolution.
