The Chalk Man

“The thing you have to understand is that being a good person isn't about singing hymns, or praying to some mythical god. It isn't about
wearing a cross or going to church every Sunday. Being a good person is about how you treat others. A good person doesn't need a religion, because they are content within themselves that they are doing the right thing.”

This story wasn't particularly compelling to me. Or maybe I had such high expectations because I heard such good things about this book. Fun fact: I bought this thrifted, the volunteer at the till said that they read it in their book club and she said that it's good.

It's not that it's a bad book but I just didn't connect with the characters and the story much. There were a few times when I felt a bit creeped out, especially the last scene but that was it, the rest of the book was meh.

It was written well, I actually highlighted a couple of lines, considering the genre of this book, I didn't particularly think that I would do much annotating.

Oh and the plot twist, hmmm I could say I didn't see that coming but who would see that coming.
