Do you mind my asking how or why? Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your point of view), I have a terrible memory. The advantage is I can re-read some books and it's like reading a new book. (early-onset Alzheimer's? or parenthood?) So I don't remember the book so well, but I remember being totally gripped and unable to put it down and terribly worried about the guy (David? The one who was running.) I hated the chase through the forest. The ending did not please me either. I remember the ending clearly. I liked the book a lot. But reading it was too traumatic an experience for me to want to repeat it. Rachel
