R. M. KinderGenre: Psychological Thriller
Published: 2007
Personal Rating: 4.5/5
Yearly Count: 17
R. M. Kinder loosely based this book on her real-life relationship with a convicted murderer. It is narrated by the "gentleman" himself, sharing his life by alternating chapters of his childhood and the present as a mature adult. His words made this a very compelling and psychologically engrossing read. The tone created such a quiet and gray atmosphere, but never gloomy. I was totally drawn into his world - wanting to know more and found it to be fascinating. What a good read!

Sorry Joy but it is a love/hate relationship when you give a book a 4.5. I love it that I have yet another wonderful book to read....I hate it because my TBR list is enormous ;)
ReplyDeleteDanielle ~ Oh...I think you'd like this one. For me, it was a quiet (not frenzied) page-turner. Even though I couldn't get to it enough, it was a fast read.

ReplyDeletei've got this one sitting right next to me as we speak (so to speak). i'm hoping to get to it within a week or so. thanks for the nudge!

ReplyDeleteCrap. Like I needed another to add to the must-reads. This sounds too delicious to pass up though.
ReplyDelete(And if I don't want to be adding to the old list, I should just quick coming by, huh? Like that's ever gonna happen.)

ReplyDeleteAlison ~ Hurry, hurry! :)
Debi ~ Well, at least there's no wondering around in a fog looking for something/anything to read. :)
