Faces of Fear, by John Saul

Faces of Fear by John Saul is about a fifteen-year-old girl named Alison Shaw. Alison isn't good looking, but she doesn't care. She'd much rather read a good book than to stare at the mirror. But Alison's gorgeous mother, Risa, believes that beauty is the most important thing in life and that without it, you won't live life the way you should. When Alison's mother marries a plastic surgeon named Peter Dunn, they move to a different city. Alison and her mother are surrounded by beautiful people in the city. This is when Alison trusts Peter Dunn and agrees to undergo her first procedure. A while after the surgery, Alison begins to notice the resemblance between her new face and Peter's first wife's face. Alison soon discovers dark secrets and realizes that her worst fears are fast becoming reality. This is one of the best books I have read so far; no wonder it is a bestseller. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to read thriller novels. This is one of those books in which you keep on wanting to read. I would rate this book 10 out of 10.
