This is my first time reading a book by Jennifer Pierce and I really enjoyed the way she wove her suspenseful story! I was hooked from the very first chapter by the plight of the main character, I mean imagine being on the run at eight months pregnant! The characters were well done, easy to get to know, and both had good character depth for the length of the story. I thought it was a very well written book with interesting twists and turns that kept my interest easily.

It is the second book in a series, but I read it without reading the first book and wasn’t lost at all, but I am going to go back and read the first book since I liked this one so much.

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars for the great mystery/suspense, for the character's interactions, and for leaving me anticipating the next book!

*I volunteered to read this book in return for my honest feedback. The thoughts and opinions expressed within are my own.

Good but drawn out

I've had this film on my to watch list for a long time, but the runtime has always put me off. Having finally found the time and inclination to watch it recently, I'm glad I finally did.

I'd completely forgotten this was a David Fincher film, and it is very well done. The style and overall cinematography are very good. It also has a fantastic cast too, although i wish there had been a little more RDJ. As thrillers go it's very understated, maybe a little too understated in parts but it at least doesn't go OTT on action or kills and there are some very suspenseful and tense scenes dotted throughout. My main problem is this is a very long film and often feels rather drawn out. I feel like it could've been cut done a little to up the pace a bit. But despite this it's still an enjoyable film and fascinating that it's based on a true story I knew little about.
