This book was like a car wreck that you just can't look away from. It was beyond terrible, but for some reason I kept reading, knowing it wasn't going to get any better.

It started out with such potential. The first chapter actually intrigued me and made me want to read more, but it went downhill from there. It's purely unbelievable, with a plot line about a typewriter that types on its own. I love suspenseful books, but this one didn't feel very suspenseful. Instead, it felt like a waste of my time and I feel it was my own fault for allowing myself to finish it.

However, I see a lot of positive reviews about this book so maybe I'm in the minority, but I just don't understand the great reviews. It left me wondering if we even read the same book!

Just creepy enough to be fun, twisted enough to keep you reading. Poor Paul is having a rough time, to be sure. This will keep you guessing until the last few pages.

A great read by Linwood Barclay. I thought the book was ending and then you're hit with all these twists and turns towards the end. Great Read!!
