more Let me preface my comments by saying that I enjoy Bentley Little's writing very much, and he's one of my favorite authors ... if not my favorite.I liked the progression of the plot of the story ... and yes, it was a page turner, as one reader pointed out. At least for me, the Epilogue saved the ending.There was a lot in here. THE VANISHING was a commentary both on the wealthy in America, as well as the "Green" movement in general. And the author lets you know how he feels about both groups with this novel.As always, Bentley Little is a master,not only of suspense but, of using sexuality as an integral plot ingredient in his work.My only main criticism is that, throughout my reading, the image that I had in my head of the evil adversaries in this novel was that of a band of demented BANANA SPLITS.
