On the one hand I thoroughly enjoyed the narrator and the characters. On the other hand I don’t feel satisfied with the ending. And maybe that’s the point but I’m still leaving this book feeling kind of let down. I guess the word I’m looking for is the ending is messy. It seems there are several different problems or mysteries and they all have different answers which is a bit frustrating. I don’t always expect a very neat ending with a bowtie to it but this just was too much. Overall I like the writing style so I’ll probably read another one of her books. ( ) The Chalk Man by C. J. Tudor is a fast-paced psychological thriller set in a small town. The book starts with a very positive note of terror. The atmosphere it created also had a spine-tingling effect. Between all this, the author has inserted some horror moments to relish. Also, the characters were nice, each of them having their own role to play. But there were many loopholes in the story. I felt that the author was somewhere between horror and psychological thriller. A story that could have turned out to be chilling horror ended just in a thriller. So many questions were left unanswered. Still, the book is interesting and deserves a one-time read. Definitely, I would like to give the book 3 stars. This was my first ever experience with C.J. Tudor, and it was an exceptional one. I am always looking to discover new and exciting authors who provide a novel that captures your attention by keeping you in suspense. This novel definitely hit all the right notes for me, and it kept me in it's grips up until the final page. I have a few books so far this year read a book in one sitting. This one however was one I couldn't put down. The novel centers around a group of friends in their early adolescent years. The book jumps back and forth in each chapter from the past to the present, but both narratives are written so well that you don't find yourself losing your place during the time jumps. The main character is trying to figure out exactly what took place years ago, as the infamous chalk man has reappeared and is leaving clues to what really happened in a murder case from his childhood. I found myself guessing who did it and why the entire time and loved every minute! I hope to read more by this author soon. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
