Nine-year-old Louis Drax lies in a coma in a hospital bed, re-living the events that led to his near-fatal fall into a ravine. Despite being attracted to the boy's mother Natalie Drax, Louis' doctor, Pascal Dannachet, begins reluctantly to question her version of Louis' accident and the apparent culpability of her missing husband.

As the boy struggles to communicate from within his coma, the chilling truth emerges....

The content was intriguing, but the mystery was easily solved in my opinion. It's a nice short piece to read on a plane ride or something. Easy to listen to.

Intriguing, but easy to figure out

I actually enjoyed all of it. This is a pretty sad story of the little boy and his life. I didn't get it right away, the strength and weaknesses of the other characters (esp men); its usu women portrayed thus. And the emergence of Gustav is a sad turning point. Made me think

Interesting psychological story

You can guess the end as soon as the book starts. It drags and drags.

Anti climatic

I bought this book after seeing the commercials for the upcoming movie and was interested in the story. I've decided I won't be seeing the movie unless they've made some major changes. Unfortunately, the secret at the end I had figured out before I even started the book. I was hoping for something different. I didn't actually care for Louis either. He came off too whiney and young. There was really no emotional tie to him. I had to continuously force myself to listen to the rest of it and was relieved when it was over. Overall, I think I'll be returning this one.

Disappointing...
