What did you think of the book? What will you take away from it?
It was easy to follow and an interesting premise. I'm not sure I would have chosen the strange white rabbit theme though - I wonder what the symbolism is here.
What was the aim of the book, and how well did the author fulfill it?
Fantasy mixing with reality. It was definitely well relayed, in my opinion, with certain aspects. For example, how the young girl was "method acting" by embodying a dirty pirate because she was trying to become her character in the play, Captain Hook. When in reality she was trying to stay dirty so her father wouldn't be interested in her (gross on several levels).
Would you recommend this book to others? Who is the target audience?
Yes. It's a good thriller and could appeal to many true/kinda true crime fanatics. However, I hated the rape idea of it.
One-sentence Book Review
The white rabbit was always meant to be seen but never followed.
