Had it assigned for a graduate rhetorical theory class. I found it very informative, although it wasn’t the most interesting read. I wish more time had been spent explaining non-white rhetorical theories though.
It wasn’t bad, but I didn’t feel myself being sucked into any of the stories. I still look forward to reading his other books though.
I absolutely loved it. I couldn’t stand having to put the book down! I loved that the author was able to successfully incorporate romance without essentially making it the plot ❤️
I never thought a book would attempt to make me empathize with a pedophile, but I’ll admit it worked. I honestly don’t know how I feel about the romantic relationship, but I do know it has left me with a lot to think about.

I loved The Whisper Man, so I decided to give The Shadows a go. While it wasn’t quite as fantastic (in my opinion), it was still really good. Paul is forced to face his past when a copycat killer recreates the murder of his friend and the suspicious Charlie Crabtree. As Crabtree was never seen again, no one knows what became of him. Paul’s mother calls him home with the concern something is in her house, so he is stuck playing investigator in more ways than one. Paul is smart, and he is determined to get answers. Follow along with this horror movie style tale as the town attempts to find the copycat killer. Beyond all else, you’ll find yourself wondering what happened to Charlie Crabtree
