Then the terror starts.
Oh..nothing like direct in your face abuse..nothing you can PROVE. More like little hostile things..an inability to respect your boundaries..strange gifts that are more creepy then sweet. Feeling like someone has been..close to you. At the place where you work. Repeated requests for sex that are..well..a little out there.
You know in your gut something is wrong. Maybe you don't want to see this guy anymore. Your gut is SCREAMING at you!
But nobody believes you.
Not your friends, not your coworkers. "But he's so nice" they say. "And you were so crazy about him."
What is going on you think? Is it me? Could it be me? No..its him . But NOBODY BELIEVES ME.
That is the premise of this book. It is a chilling, powerful and utterly terrifying book that I'd highly recommend..just please be aware it is pretty scary.
But the book itself was spectacular. And so way ahead of it's time. It was written long before the internet came into our lives and I first read it many years ago, well before the age of computers.
One really wonders, how this book would be shaped, were it written now during the age of the internet and social media. I am sure it would be even more frightening.
But I really loved this book about Lynn, the talk show host, who is being stalked by her own boyfriend and nobody believes her. I found the writing to be fierce and forceful, character development was fantastic and the story was intense and absorbing. I could not put the book down.
I would have given this a 5. It IS a 5 in most ways. However..this book has two very unappealing horrible scenes of animal murder and I always take off a star for any book that does that. It was so not needed in this book. Actually it is NEVER needed in any book but they still keep doing it anyway. In thrillers or mysteries usually, if there is an animal in the story, it will be killed. And really who needs that. Write the book without it! This book was scary enough, I mean the rabid raccoon and so many other things.
SPOILERS: STOP READING IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO KNOW HOW IT ENDS:
I LOVED the character of Mike, the hard nosed cop with the heart of gold. And I never expected the second twist which somehow did come off as realistic in its way. This novel was written awhile ago when twists were not quite as popular. I think they were done better back then too.
In any case..4 stars. A very good book.… (mais)
