Hersh's Reviews > In the Woods

Dear Rob,

“And then, too, I had learned early to assume something dark and lethal hidden at the heart of anything I loved. When I couldn't find it, I responded, bewildered and wary, in the only way I knew how: by planting it there myself.” - Rob Ryan

If words can kill, those words of yours just killed me, Rob. I don't know what to say because right now I cannot form sentences without breaking down. *Tries to calm down*. I just want to say that you should take care. I don't know what will happen to you but please take care of yourself. I'd like to think that you're married and have kids and that you're happily settled somewhere where there are butterflies flying about in your garden. A place with everlasting sunshine and hope. At least I hope so. I miss you. A lot of other people miss you too. You were amazing. Goodbye, Rob.

Lots of love,
Hershey

This book is so beautiful beyond words. How can I review it?

In the Woods broke some part of me. It shattered me and left me emotionally drained. I couldn't breathe after finishing it because the resounding truth ricocheting all around haunted me. Wow, I never felt anything like this while reading a book.



This book is very special to me. I love it because it shattered and broke me. I loved the melancholic vibe this book gave off. Trust me, this book is not all sad. It had its happy moments.

One thing I loved most from this book was the friendship shared between Rob Ryan and Cassie Maddox. They're adorable together. Also, if you want to read about some very realistic characters with a coating of mystery and suspense, then read this book.

Tana French is already my favorite author. Her writing style is simply exquisite. I've heard so many great things about French and her crime novels and I tell you now, believe in all the hype surrounding her works. Believe it and read it. You won't be disappointed.

P.S: Come back some time soon, Rob.
