( ) At first I found this book interesting and intriguing. The adult characters were somewhat annoying but the daughter was fascinating. However I felt by the last 100 pages it was loosing its way. too many 'coincidences' and an ending that left much to be desired. Hugely dissapointing as the story had a lot of potential. Ok, so that was extremely different from Jennifer McMahon’s previous books that I’ve read, but I totally loved it! Four young adults make a life changing decision right after college, and 10 years later it comes back to literally bite them in the rear. The numerous twists and turns made my head spin. I finished it in one sitting and was left with my mouth hanging open, thinking “damnnnn”.
McMahon has constructed an intricate back story for the strange behavior of the 9-year-old Emma DeForge, who seems to have channeled Suz’s spirit as an imaginary friend she calls Danner. But for all the story’s spooky trappings, it’s ultimately about Emma’s unhappiness at her parents’ very real separation. Indeholdt iHæderspriserDistinctions
"An eerie and gripping tale of suspense....A triumph." --Boston Globe The author of the New York Times bestseller Island of Lost Girls, Jennifer McMahon returns with Dismantled--a stunning and chilling thriller that further burnishes her reputation as, "One of the brightest new stars of literary suspense" (Los Angeles Times online). Stewart O'Nan, author of Songs for the Missing, calls Dismantled, "A fun, twisty thriller. Expect comparisons to The Secret History." Readers of Laura Lippman, Tana French, and Alice Sebold's The Lovely Bones will not be able to shake this breathtaking tale of the dark consequences of a group of college friends' belief that all things--and people--must be taken apart to be truly understood.
