McNamee demonstrates his breadth of talent with this edgy thriller. The fast-moving and sometimes disturbing story will keep readers riveted.-

I really liked the first section. The author did a great job of letting us know that something creepy was going to happen (buried alive, etc.) even though what was actually going on was pretty mundane. This book won the Edgar award for best mystery, so I was looking forward to reading it anyway. It sounds really exciting.

I love the way the author writes...I can't wait for the next installment!

i've read this book before.. it's REALLY creepy, and i've been recommending it to everyone who likes a good suspense book.

i am really looking forward to tomorrow!

the way the author writes makes even a subway lost and found sound interesting, but when he finds the warped diary the interest increases ten-fold, i am soo eager to read what comes next, even after only two installments, i've already ordered the book from the library!

This book was awesome! I'm going to read some more books by Graham McNamee! One of them I think is "Hate You". It sounds interesting. Great choice!

It does sound interesting. I love the idea of finding a diary, reading someone's most inner thoughts. And this one sounds creepy. What do you do with that kind of information? Very intriguing so far. And the whole summer job thing - know what that's like!

This is weird... I haven't been getting excerpts lately...

i'm not into this book much. anyway i was just wondering how many guyz out there get this book club email. respond to this if u do guyz!

WOW! this dream sequence excerpt really left me hanging!! Who is this girl?? Did he save her? This is great!!

What ever happend to the diary? it changed subjects so quickly now i'm confused

Today's section is so weird! I wonder why he got out so far, and how he got to the bottom without realizing it. The chapter starts out strangely, putting you right there in the middle of the dream, without much warning. Anyway This will be added to my list of books to read.

Hasta la vista-

well... the story talks about how he is a great swimmer so he was out so far because he knew that he is a good swimme therefore knowing that he could go out that far... and he knew he was going deep into the water ... he did that because it made him not hear the world above him ... or like the book says to block out the girls screams.

Yesterday's excerpt was disturbing, when he reads what is in the diary, very warped. Today with the dream is kind of slow, although I've had dreams that seem to take forever to write down, they're so long. Still, the writing's pretty good.

The subject change I don't like Because It just confuses You.
Unless its the boy dreaming about the diary or somthing.

Todays instalment was very-------slow, althoughI'd like to find out why that other guy hid his hand.I cant wait for the next instalment. Plese Email me If you feel the same or have a different opininon

Today's was interesting, at least you find out why he hides his hand. But I feel like we drifted off the subject.

i agree that it kinda drifted off the subject, but i'm guessing it will eventually sort itself out, i am definately reading the rest.
