MY THOUGHTS:
I had mixed feelings about this book. In a way it was good, but then I wasn't thrilled with the way things just seemed to happen to the kids. It's weird because when the movie "The Orphan" came out in 2009 I was like that movies seems like a book I read, and in ways it was I mean not the whole plot or anything but the parent's adopting a Psychotic Orphan. where as the movie the girl was actually an adult this book the kid was actually a kid but she wasn't normal, and bad things appened around her. I bought it at a goodwill store and when I read the back cover (that's how I pick out most my books) it sounded interesting. It's a very thin book so anyone who can read a 500 page book in a few days can read this one in a few hours. So all in allit was ok.
