Unexpectedly Creepy
I'm about 30% through and the book is exhausting. I read before bed and it's so fast-paced that it wires me. That is good for most books, and normally I would just read it at a different time. But this one not only feels as though I'm sticking my finger in a light socket. It also feels wormy, as if something rotten is gradually burrowing into my skin and the only way to stop it is to stop reading. That sounds bizarre, since this is not horror or slasher genre. Usually, I am drawn to science fiction, especially slightly creepy science fiction. This is more basic. This deals with the stink of pride, which is scarier than aliens to me. Well done, Hank. Maybe I can push through. You have done something remarkable.
