I agree, normally I have trouble with shorter stories because they don't always feel complete to me and I want the story to go into more depth, but this one tells a brilliant story in a short amount of time:)<br /><br />Angelique - I loved it! It's not scary scary, more just the type to leave your stomach all in knots while your reading:)<br /><br />Nic - It won't freak you out I don't think, it will more disturb and unnerve you:)<br /><br />Jennifer - I have an overactive imagination as well, I can't watch or read anything scary, but this was more suspenseful than terrifying:)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-61996855384589737542011-03-18T06:12:24.227-04:002011-03-18T06:12:24.227-04:00This sounds like a great, tense read; definitely n...This sounds like a great, tense read; definitely not one I should read while my husband is out of town.

I had wanted to read The Long Weekend prior to reading your review, but you just made it a must read for me.

I often feel like either the emotional reaction the reader is suppose to have or delicate handling of sensitive issues is missing or glossed over. To me, that doesn't make the less bearable and only causes me to feel frustrated. <br /><br />Awesome review Jenny!

I loved this book as well, though it's a very different love than other books, because this is potentially the most disturbing story I've encountered in recent memory. It definitely makes me want to lock my future children up tight. <br /><br />You hit the nail on the head when you said that Savita knows how to bring out those emotions.
