(I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a review).
(This review may contain spoilers).
This is another book I have a few mixed feelings about by the end.
I did know what I was getting into with this book. It’s like watching a slasher movie – I know how things are going to end, but I’m looking forward to something that’s going to entertain me.
Tony wasn’t really a character I could like or really relate to, though I felt the author did a good job of showing ‘the last straw’. There were parts of the book where I did feel a little sorry for Tony, but by the end of the book, that was pretty much gone.
I suppose the desire for revenge is something many people can relate to (including me), if not the main character himself. It was interesting to see Tony’s thought processes, too – and how what he thought differed to or was similar to reality.
There wasn’t a huge amount of mystery to this book, but there were one or two things that did surprise me. It was interesting how Tony seemed to degenerate further into madness as the book went on and how he was able to justify his actions to himself.
Some of the descriptions really made me cringe. The author did a particularly good job of painting mental pictures.
I couldn’t say for sure if I’ll read more books by this author. It probably ended the only way it could have done and was quick and easy to read.
