review 1: When I read the description on the back, I was excited to read this book. I was not disappointed. Great mystery, great characters, overall great book. I even loved the inclusion of excerpts from the other books the narrator had written, and I kind of wanted to find out what happened in those stories. Some reviewers thought it was too gory and gross. Maybe I'm jaded by all the Stephen King books I've read, but I didn't think it was that bad. Even Tess Gerritsen and Karin Slaughter have written things that are more disturbing and they are certainly more mainstream. I'm glad I picked this up at BEA because otherwise I'd never have heard of it. Looking forward to more books from this guy.
review 2: This is a book about writing, serial killers, mysteries, trying to ... moreearn a living, seduction. Not my usual read, but my Kindle was not properly loaded when we went camping for the weekend. Greg had this book along and I found it to be very literary despite being about EVERYTHING. I would not recommend it (it's rated R, to my mind, for graphic murder details and lots of sex) but it is a page-turner and there were several quotes about writing and reading that I'd like to steal. less
