  Astonishing. I've been about to leave it apart a few times. It took me a while (half the book, at least) to become keen to finish it. First, I didn't understand what this story was about. Then, when it become clear, it was supreme, psychical violence... a real psycho thriller.

  I was given this by a friend who has previously let me down with his recommendations....However, i gave it/him the benefit of the doubt when he told me that Chuck Palahnick also wrote Fight Club. Although I was intrigued to find out the fate of Misty Wilmot, why her abilty to paint was important and what the title of the book had to do with anything, in hindsite I wasn't entirely bowled over by this story. If I had to make a positive comment I would say the twsits within the book are clever ....but unfotunalty I blame my stubburness to finish a book as the only reason why I actually managed to reach these twists.
