This was an interesting and quick read. I would have finished it within the first day or two, but I am in my last semester of graduate school and things have been very busy around here the past few weeks.

I actually felt sorry for Mary in the beginning because she honestly seemed to be ignorant about the fact that she was causing so many deaths. Toward the end I wasn't so sure of her ignorance about the fact that she was killing people. I might be interested in reading more about Mary after reading this book.

While I found Mary's story to be interesting, the alternating story about the narrator was a bit boring. Thankfully, his parts of the story were short. I kept thinking that his story would be connected to Mary's in some way later in the book, but this never happened -- unless I misses something.

This book is ready to go home to bodesoda, as am the last bookring participant. I have tried to contact her a couple of times by PM and have also posted on the forum in search of her. If anyone has her address, please send it to me by PM. If you are reading this bodesoda, please send your address to me so this well-traveled book can be sent home to you.

I still have not been able to reach bodesoda by PM and nobody has replied to my requests on the forum for her mailing address. If anyone has her address, please send it to me so I can return this book to her.
