Not for me - 2 star

The most interesting part of this book was the author's notes and her understanding and acquired knowledge of Dissociative identity disorder. For some will question that such a mental illness exists but by encompassing this as the central theme Catriona Ward has certainly ensured we the reader will at least in part, be a little wiser on completion. However nomatter the issues I as an avid reader must judge this book on its enjoyment factor, and sadly I found it difficult and very confusing....but of course I hear you say that is exactly the point.....and naturally I smile and agreeLauren disappeared many years ago, sister Dee has never given up hope, Ted lives alone presenting at the very least signs of autism to his neighbours. Ever watchful, ever present Olivia observes as events unfold always an active witness a silent voice...... the ever resourceful cat. As the story concluded, as the horror unfolded, and the true nature of Ted's life on "The Last House on Needless Street" is revealed only disbelief and sadness remain.
