fear not, the new review from the site "bookgasm" is family-friendly.

excerpt: "When it comes to making good on his title, Richtel knows how to work it. From the start, his story proves every bit as hypnotic as the book’s optical-illusion cover."

And

"As good as Richtel is at building suspense right away, I must commend him more for the flashback chapters that depict Nat and Annie falling in love. Their actions and dialogue comprise a realistic and accurate portrayal of the initial joys involved in finding your soulmate, and it’s hard not to feel a little contact high in your heart. The romance depicted here is real, not sappy or fantasized. "

In brief:

"From the moment I gazed upon the dizzying cover to the nail biting conclusion I was captivated (refuse to use the word “hooked”). Richtel has crafted a wonderful book that is guaranteed to satisfy the thriller/suspense novel craving that may be present within you. "
