Short read, but good. A little vague at times but it allows you to fill in the gaps at the end. A twisted story, with transparent characters. Unpredictable isn't the right word, but it's the first one that comes to mind.

Overall good, but not great.

7.5/10

Currently reading:

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith



I took a reminder from Dr. Seussicide's post that I still had this waiting on my kindle. After seeing the movie trailer, I figured I have to read it as a prerequisite. Liking it so far. Will report back when finsihed.

I'll be waiting to see what you think of it, I've been very tempted to read it since it came out. It's just hard to convince myself to pick it up when I have a stack of books almost as long as my forearm waiting for me.

I usually am reading several things at once, but I've recently decided to narrow it down to increase my reading retention and get through books more efficiently. So far it's working out and I've been reading one work of fiction and one of nonfiction at a time.

Fiction:



Nonfiction:

It's actually my first Chuck P. Novel. I will look into getting those. I only have Choke, Survivor, and Fight Club on my kindle right now.

I agree that Invisible Monsters is his best but I disliked Diary so much that it made me lose all interest in his books for a couple years.
