Industry Reviews "[A] tense thriller....Highly discussible, the ethical questions contained are intricate and absorbing, but detract not at all from the increasing tension as the story unfolds. Chilling." Kirkus Reviews (10/01/2001)
"Cormier uses deft dialogue and alternating perspectives to create tense and twisted scenes between two characters...The pacing is riveting, and the chapters that cover the interrogation raise intense ethical questions about power, fairness, and truth." Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (12/01/2001)
"This is a riveting read, not for the faint of heart." Riverbank Review - Lee Galda
