Michelle 's Reviews > Mister Tender's Girl

Alice Hill is attacked by knife wielding twins when she is 14 yrs old. They were inspired to attack her by her own fathers graphic novel Mr. Tender. After the attack her parents divorce and her mother moves her and her younger brother to the U.S. from London in hopes of escaping the past. As we all know sometimes the past does not want to be forgotten and here begins our novel.

This is a fast paced read with short punchy chapters that keep you flipping the pages. At almost 400 pages I was able to finish this in one sitting. This book is very entertaining but it was a little over the top for me. Some things I just didn't find believable or realistic. I know, I know .. this is fiction and it doesn't have to be believable but some things just niggled at me. I was also a little underwhelmed with the ending. I will say that Carter Wilson is an excellent writer and I look forward to seeing what he can come up with next. 3.5 Stars!
