"It is December 1 in southern California, a White Rabbit day, and Ruth, eighty-eight years old, is seeing things. Her husband, Henry - King of the Boobs - is no help, of course, and her granddaughter is shacking up with a maniac against Ruth's best advice. But that furry white bunny hiphopping across her field of vision keeps snickering "Time!" and Ruth has to wonder if hers is up." "Tracking her pinball course through her final day on earth, White Rabbit follows Ruth's progress minute by minute as she devises ever odder routines for coping with the breakdown of her household appliances and her own vital organs and her faith in romantic love. Opening a window onto Ruth's past are her heartbreaking memories of the men in her life, from her withholding first husband to goony, hopeless Henry, who cannot understand her despite his steadfast loyalty."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

WOW That was a great book !!!
The story and concept were very strong. The characters were very well built-up. Quite close to real life and had a strong image. The story was a page-turner, hooked me completely, right from first page till the end in the need to know what happens next. I loved this book pretty much. It was a 5 Star read for me apart from some errors.
The characters were so strongly sketched to life that you can feel the psychopath Ronan is..! You can feel the anger, the terror, the irritation. The situations were so very well plotted that you can feel how helpless Brooke felt, what she's been through, how she's surviving. You must read it to find out how's the world of Ronan and Brooke. A beautifully-dark story it was.. Yes! Does they go together? Beautiful and Dark?? It does... In this book. It has that unique combination of story :)
This author truly has some great skills and a strong hand. Well i say this about the authors who have the potential to write some remarkable books.
It could have been a perfect 5 star but there were a few editing mistakes. the scenes switched without any divider while story jumped from one character to another character or past/present flashbacks without specifying, that was a bit confusing but there was nothing that can't be corrected with a good editor :)
And when Ronan escapes from jail twice,the author should have defined a bit How it happened.
Apart from that, it was a great book and i loved it pretty much.
It is definitely recommended to all the readers who like Dark Erotic Read.
