The ending was good for the good guys and bad for the bad guy. There’s edge of your seat suspense toward the end. There’s mystery wondering if and how they will ever find the psychopath. I was frequently smiling during this book - which is rare. Let's give the book another 10 points for reminding me of "shadowjack".Ĥ ½ stars. Note: if you are going to do this, it is wayyy more likely a bookstore employee will find them and will show someone else who works there, and a cult of anticipation will form around "when will he leave the next one?" and "what does he look like?"Īnd he still comes in, but sadly, the notebooks have stopped. Points will be revoked if i later find out that this is figurative.Īs a personal aside - i was interested in the premise of this book mostly because the idea of finding a killer's journal and reading it and getting creeped out by it reminds me of more tales from the flagship store when - years ago and for nearly a year, we would find these black unlined hardcover notebooks shelved in the romance aisle and they were filled with the romantic frustrations and sexual fantasies (and also boring quotidian experiences) of this guy who was placing them there in the hopes that women would find them and fall in love with him and find him irresistible and i guess wait there for his next installation? that part i never understood, because they were never on a schedule, but they were always in the same spot on the shelves - what you think a lady is going to spend all day every day just waiting for one to turn up? i shred the pages, then burn them to ashes and bury them deep in the forest where nobody will ever find them. sometimes the first draft is total garbage. Q: how much rewriting and revising do you do?Ī: endless rewrites.
two points for the author's awesomely batshit q&a after the novel's end: but i will probably tell greg, because he gets best friend privileges. two points because the killer in this book reminds me sooo much of someone here on, but you would have to torture me to get me to name names.
it takes place in some criminal-filled housing project (which i didn't think even existed in canada) and i just saw harry brown and it makes me happy to picture this place all badass like that, with a teenage version of michael caine skulking around - two points. it has a great premise - one point for that. it takes place in toronto - one point for canadian setting. everything must be tidy, everything must be remarked-upon, everything in its place now. Okay, we are going to get quick and dirty on these teen books because i am reading them more quickly than i can review them and the blank spaces next to them in my book list is likely to drive me maaaaad.īut my untreated and probably inaccurately self-diagnosed ocd forbids this.
