 Gripping July 27, 2008

I found myself drawn into the world of the protagonist and wanting to know more about THE GREAT GATSBY. I enjoyed the story because the mystery unfolded along with her obsession with finding out about the photographs. Many surprises as you learn the truth. I found myself as obsessed as the heroine with finding out the truth.
 Disappointed and sort of disturbed July 19, 2008

I read this on vacation and I guess I kept reading because I had nothing else with me to read so I kept reading it on the plane etc. There were parts of the book that were mildly interesting so I will give it two stars. The last third of the book got creepy and disturbing and I sort of wish I never finished it. This was not on par with Midwives.
 The Double Bind July 14, 2008

The Double Bind, is an amazing novel. I don't want to say too much about the great plot line because i think the reader should just let the story lead them along. i could not stop reading this great novel. The story is quite unique and inventive. The plot revolves around a female college student who is attacked rather violently while bike riding in the Vermont countryside. The story jumps a few years when she is working as a social worker in a homeless shelter in Vermont. When a former resident of the shelter dies and leaves behind a box of photos and she discovers a photo of herself taken on the day she was attacked. She learns that the dead photographer is somehow linked to Jay gatsby and Daisy...the ending is of this book is astounding...
Will keep you guessing until the last chapter July 8, 2008

Your heart will go out to Laurel. The energy that she uses to find the truth is admirable and so sad when the truth is finally revealed.
 Just couldn't finish it. July 1, 2008

I am an avid fan of Bohjalian. However, I could not get through more than 158 pages of The Double Bind. Despite having read and thoroughly enjoyed The Great Gatsby, the constant allusions to the characters of this classic, combined with other myriad flashbacks, left me constantly wondering where the author was going and what details were "important." A friend who did finish the novel told me the ending. I'm glad I chose to stop when I did. I think I would have missed my lost evenings.
