Um.. I don't know. 9 out of 10 books on my shelf are fantasy, other than that I mostly go for lighthearted chick flicks or comedies. That's why I found myself intruiged when I read the back cover summary. I don't like gorish details wether they are in books or movies but something about this book called to me. When I got back home I directly checked the reviews for the book and I was instantly mortified of having to read it (I'm a bit of a wuss really :P I close my eyes at horror scenes). I did find myself having to skip through some paragraphs, particularly through Jay's "intense" moments, but it wasn't as extreeme as everyone made it out to be. In fact, I actually found myself hooked unto the story and I coudn't wait to get to the part where Jay and Andrew meet (My favourite chapter). The only problem I faced is that I kept forgetting that ultimately this is Andrew's twisted story and the silly girl in me somehow wanted some sort of unrealistci fairy tale ending.. WTF? Ya I know :P. But now that I finished the book and am no longer attached to the characters, particularly Tran, I find that the ending is beffiting of the story and that somehow, I actually like Andrew. 
 I would say I do not recommend this for the faint of heart, or the happy ending lovers but I'm within these 2 cattegories and I actually liked it.
