review 1: Seriously, this book made me so uncomfortable, throughout I kept shouting 'WHAT AM I READING?? And, WHY?' But I absolutely loved it. Besides the creep factor and almost sociopathic characters, you find yourself so enthralled with the entire story that you WANT to know the outcome. At first, neither character is likable. Joel is narcassitic to the extreme and gets off on how much other people admire him. Walker is this shy quiet guy who everyone finds creepy ( and seriously what he caused still gives me the heebie geebies). But this story was about finding who you are and how an unlikely someone can help save you from a downward spiral while the other can teach you how to be a better person. Rowan McBride has an amazing talent and I'll definitely pick up more of his b... moreooks.
review 2: This was the oldest book on my To-Read shelf. I added it in February 2009. Five years ago. I'm not sure why it took me that long to read it. I think like a lot of other people who have let it sit and flounder for so long, I wasn't sure what to expect and thought it would be too creepy. I've read, and enjoyed, a lot of VERY creepy, dark stuff in the last few years so this book was not nearly as angst inducing as I thought it might be. It's very well written and takes us on a journey that is difficult to imagine and sometimes difficult to read. Throughout most of the story I am struck by Joel's stoicism. He gets angry and frustrated but he keeps moving forward. Even when he stumbles, he eventually rises to the occasion. I enjoyed the deeper meanings of this book and while I don't know how intentional it was, there was a profound lesson that one could take away from this story. Redemption, forgiveness, Karma... I quite liked this book and am glad I finally got around to reading it. less
