This book is bizarre and that's making it hard for me to shelve it. It was just such a creative choice and it just enhanced the experience overall.ĭefinitely an intriguing story and so very different than most books you will pick up. I especially loved how as they book and the characters spiraled into darkness the pages themselves faded to black to emphasize that. I also LOVED the way the book was written with mixed media- the drawings, the notes, the CD’s, just everything. It was addressed and emphasized on how unhealthy and co-dependent the boys were towards each other and I am so relieved that for once in a story the characters got some type of therapy and help by the end (I cannot count how many characters would benefit from some much needed therapy). Jack and August’s relationship was definitely an unhealthy one which had me concerned at first but I am so grateful for how the author handled it. Was this world real or was it all in Jack’s head? It was strange and interesting and left me questioning the entire time what was real and what was not.
