Completely forgot I was reading and could not put it down! Such an innocent but enjoyable story. Gave me more than a few laughs out loud as well. Can't wait to read the next two!
I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would, however I found the attribution of the killer's actions and motivations to their mental health diagnosis (which was all but outright stated, and which I happen to share) to be somewhat problematic and stigmatising. I have knocked a star off for this, however do keep in mind that because I share the diagnosis, I am a little biased! I did predict the main twists as well, which doesn't help the rating. But overall, a good read and one I don't regret.
I mean... it's a classic for a reason! I still love the film, which is a childhood favourite, but I prefer the book. And will happily read it again (and again). It's delightfully dark in places and, as I was pleasantly surprised to find our, the original is much more adult than the film. A great read!
Read in one sitting. Just finished at around 01:30 AM; I could not put this down. A short but wonderful little freak show of a story, please read it! Can't wait to devour book 2 tomorrow, and with how good it's shaping up to be, maybe start book 3!
This was a really good ride! I guessed a couple of minor plot points but the red herrings really did their job well, I had a small suspicion along the way about His true identity, but it was swept aside. Very enjoyable.
