Duncan's Diary

review 1: I could not finish this book. But not because it wasn't well written-because it was too well written! I really had a visceral reaction to it. I love murder, mayhem, mysteries, horror, etc...but something about it coming first hand, present tense is truely disturbing. Imagine a man who fantasizes about kidnapping a woman, raping her,then killing her. Now imagine him following thru with this and telling you about it as it happens-what went wrong, what he liked, his guilt, his insanity...it really really made me feel sick and I couldn't pick it up again.
review 2: I won this book on "First Reads" and was not expecting much since this was the author's first book and it appears he didn't have it proof read . Aside from that, I did get right into it and the write... morer did a good job portraying Duncan, the middle aged, recently divorced accountant with 3 daughters, who is rather boring as a person and is seemingly facing a midlife crises. He decides he needs some excitement in his life and the outlet he finds to get him through is killing. The story is told in the first person and is more or less like the killer's diary with some chapters in between telling us about Sudhir, the alcoholic detective who gets assigned to the case. You won't like this if you can't deal with sex and cold blooded murder but it wouldn't be this story without it. Has a rather surprising twist at the end. And it appears we could see more of Duncan in the future. Thanks for giving me a chance to read this. less
