Michelle Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Josy is a twelve year old girl, who develops a mysterious illness, then one day disappears. There is absolutely no trace of her, and her body is never found. Her father, well-known psychiatrist Viktor Larenz, is unable to cope with the loss, and after splitting up with his wife, he retreats to an isolated island, in an attempt to heal. His time there is shattered by the arrival of Anna Glass, a schizophrenic who claims that characters she writes about come to life; and she has a story to tell about a young girl with an unknown illness, who has disappeared. Is there a connection? Can Anna’s delusions explain what happened to Josy? For anyone who enjoys thrillers, this is an absolute must read. It’s fast paced, with plenty of twists and turns, and I found it almost impossible to put down. Is Anna the one with the mental illness, or is it Viktor? I felt completely absorbed in this story, and it’s characters, and they have stayed with me ever since I put it down. I would be very surprised if this doesn’t become a hit film, and I’m going to recommend it to everyone! Quote
Michelle Posted September 25, 2008 Author Posted September 25, 2008 It is Nici.. I really did have trouble putting it down, even when I was feeling ill today, and I've been thinking about it ever since! It's hard to put into words just what makes it so great.... Quote

Louiseog Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 Exactly as you said Michelle, have been left chilled and thoughtful, so thrilling that read it in a day, and was excited and scared in equal measure, very very clever. Quote
KW Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 I couldn't put it down either. A real page turner. Quote
Chrissy Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Just finished 'Therapy'. It is a chillingly shocking read. It is a wonderfully paced tale, where you are immediately unsettled and urgently compelled to keep reading on until the last breathless pages. You have a few pages here and there where you think you know what has happened, or what is happening, then suddenly the world turns lightly on it's axis and you are left reading the books with a "Huh?" look on your face. Yet somehow the book manages not to be confusing. I was only baffled when I tried to work it out. This is a book that delivers the story to you, you cannot go fetch it. You have to allow the story to unfold as it does, it quickly teaches you that. While you are reading this book your role is passive, it tugs you along. It is once you have finished that the real thinking kicks in. I haven't written about the characters or in specifics about the plot, because there is nothing I can say without giving away parts that you have to experience for yourself. To anyone who hasn't yet read this book ~ just read it, please. Quote
madcow Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Ok first of all 'I'm sorry' this was sent to me last year and I forgot all about it, I'm putting it down to a tropical moment I promise to get this read as soon as I've finished my current book and start the ring off again, hopefully early next week.

Chrissy Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Is it my sort of thing Chrissy? It is not sad is it? It's only sad in terms of the human psyche rather than boo hoo sad. It is thrilling, chilling and haunting and any other words that can give a reader a little shiver. It looks at the relationships we can have with each other and ourselves, including how we explain who and what we encounter in life. Quote
