One of the best psychological thrillers I've read in years. I'm not sure I can say anything about this book without giving it away, but I highly recommend it. In terms of creepiness and twists and turns, it's right up there with Robert Cormier's I Am the Cheese.
Nothing special, but it's still a fast-paced interesting book. The equivalent of brain candy.
