The Nothing Man
by Catherine Ryan Howard
This was another book I don’t know too much about before picking it up in the library. Even though I was expecting something a little different to what the book actually was in the end I ended up really enjoying this book.
What I quite liked about this book was that we are reading about a book in a book and the serial killer who the book is about is reading it along side you. I thought this to be a good concept because it feels like it’s actually part of the story and not just two stories crammed into one book! Another thing I quite liked was actually reading about places I remember from studying abroad at UCC!
Nonetheless, since you already know who the Nothing man is from the start and most of the book is about him reading the book, the real ‘action’ only starts in the last few chapters I would say. Hence, I probably would rate it about 3.5 stars overall but rounded up because I really enjoyed the story and would recommend it!
