  "Lots of twists and turns!" by nnistler (see profile) 07/22/10

This book was very interesting with twists and turns. I typically can put a book down...but this one I kept reading and reading. Well written.

I enjoyed this book. It was genuinely heart wrenching to see how the mother of Billy and Lila treated her children and grandchildren she was an absolute psychopath. But I was left at the end feeling at the that the promised world was attainable.

The book kept my interest but I was a little disappointed in the ending. I kept waiting for something more....

Interesting topic but confusing a times.

 
  "Kept me thinking" by jaynehoaglund (see profile) 07/23/10

This book was able to grab my attention and keep me "thinking" about what the characters were going through. I liked the twists to the story.

 
  "The Promised World" by hbrugger (see profile) 11/02/10

Very interesting book, kept you reading to see if it is "truth or lie". Shows what it takes to live in a home with mental illness.

 
  "The Promised World" by SandyTague (see profile) 12/18/10

An interesting story with a dark and twisted plot, but I was interested in the story.

 
  "Nice read, not life changing" by marshlynn (see profile) 01/09/11

It reminded me of many popular movies. I enjoyed it while I was reading it, and was interested in finding out what happened next, but afterwards I thought about holes in the story and places where things were not explained well.
