I didn't love this book, I didn't hate this book, I simply liked this book. There was some suspense, especially as the ending neared, but it was easy for the reader to figure a lot of the mystery out.
This was a fairly simple read that has you reflect upon your actions and how they can alter another's life. Though I struggled throughout the entire book to keep the main characters, Larry and Silas, straight in my head - for some reason I kept confusing them.
My only criticism is that there should have been a disclaimer on the book jacket: "This book contains snakes"!!
Quotes: "How what seemed like kindness could be the opposite"
"...how time packs new years over the old ones but how those old years are still there, like the earliest, tightest rings centering a tree, the most hidden, enclosed in darkness and shielded from weather. But then a saw screams in and the tree topples and the circles are stricken by the sun and the sap glistens and the stump is laid open for the world to see."
