Sorry! It's a retelling of The Turn of the Screw, so I imagine many of the themes are the same.Small Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16072352095510905410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-55080595493930289032011-11-13T21:30:14.109-05:002011-11-13T21:30:14.109-05:00Hi may I know whats the theme for this book?Hi may I know whats the theme for this book?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-46288780710511090202011-04-18T21:26:18.214-04:002011-04-18T21:26:18.214-04:00Two Readers Reviews, It was sooo good.

It’s really short (I think maybe 100 pages). But you don’t need to have read it or know anything about it in order to enjoy Tighter. The mystery is totally worth putting up with Jaime’s weirdness. Just trust me, she <i>needs</i> to be like she is. I hope you enjoy Tighter!Small Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16072352095510905410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-78436496941242194372011-03-13T03:24:40.551-04:002011-03-13T03:24:40.551-04:00Wow!

And I'd probably want more too. <br /><br />I haven't read The Turn of the Screw, never even heard of it. *hangs head in shame*<br /><br />I admit having a hard time sticking with a story if I don't like the main character but something about Jaime seems to draw you in. I guess it is the fact that it leaves you guessing as to whether the ghosts are there or just in her fragile mind. <br /><br />Thanks for this review, Smalls. I will definitely be checking out this book!Missie, The Unread Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548256640926555361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-15521675765288824192011-01-30T16:31:42.660-05:002011-01-30T16:31:42.660-05:00Please do keep it in mind.
