Penpal Paperback – 25 April 2013

Finished the book in one day! Couldn’t put it down. Great delivery service and amazing price too.

A really effective one. I would give it 4.5 stars. Reading the book is a chilling experience even if the ending is a bit trite.

"We want so badly to be happy – to live the kinds of lives that we always hoped we'd live – that we give gifts to ourselves by remembering things not as they were, but as we wish they were.”-> The atmosphere is eerie, memoir like and the words of the author immediately take control of your thought system as they are written with such lucidity-> there are six chapters that happen in our protagonist's childhood, he is trying to understand what happened to him along the way.-> this book has evil in it but not in a stephen king way, it is evil in a dan auerbach way where chance of redemption is zero and mystery shall leave you baffled till the very last page-> this book is cruel but its kind in its cruelty. It left me shattered (almost) and I still feel so bad for the characters. This is what is different from reading a horror and watching one. When you watch a horror, you may or may not feel bad for the characters-> I love the protagonist and all the good characters in the book, they became a part of my own family. He tried so hard to rise above the station society set him at and it was heartening/disheartening to...LOVED THIS BOOK. Perfect 5 stars but oh man, its quite unsettling and not for everyone.I repeat this is not a Stephen King book. Nor is it a Dean Koontz. This is more psychological than both. It may be scarring in ensuring you love it.

the kind of book that will make you cry so much at the end and will make you value relationships more. full of plot twists at every page. it's worth buying. Beautiful job by the author

Fans of horror will love this one. It's well written and makes you want to read more and more of it.
