Got me out of an illness induced reading slump and I absolutely loved it. 

I think if you liked Vladimir, consider picking this one up.

Picked up as I had book 2 in the series. I’m bored so I’ll set this down and unhaul book 2

The pacing and the confusion of the dual POV isn’t working for me

For a great bit of this one, I wasn’t sure what to think.

Questions that went through my head with answers:

Why does this need to be a series? I’m still not completely sure, but the system Chizmar has created here has made it easy for him to blend plot twisting mysteries with metafiction. I really appreciate that 

Why should we care? I still don’t know; but beware people that suddenly pop up in your life.

Why is this so long? I still don’t know and I do think it could’ve been cut down a bit. 

Oh, and did you know he’s friends with James Renner and Stephen King?

In all, an good read to settle into on the plane. I was able to zone in and ignore everything else. 

Will I read the third installment? Maybe.
