About this title: The author's third novel is a spooky coming-of-age tale in which 16-year-old Mary Veal disappears from her school, only to reappear a few weeks later claiming to have been abducted. Julavits keeps the reader baffled until the end, but beneath the mystery is a sophisticated meditation on truth and bias.

"It's a bit late to jump on the child abuse/psychoanalysis bandwagon. This tired novel about a tired woman who was tired of being ignored as a teen is ... tiring. Did she lie to her therapist? Was her abductor (or the man she manipulated into abducting her) really an insomniac amnesic? You'll forget to care. I found five spelling errors in this book, so her editor didn't really care either."
