I loved it. At the same time, I hated it. The 'Hollywood Ending' side of me despaired at the utter hopelessness of the scenario these characters are in, but I thought it was well written and very realistic. I'm not sure it really compares with much of any other books within the genre, as they always seem to have some glimmer of hope in the storylines, but it's really a pretty fascinating read and as a parent it makes me wonder which 'road' I would take if faced with the same circumstances.
