This was so much fun. And thrilling. And I really needed it after a reading slump!

3.5 stars rounded up. I love how this book is presented. It's a thriller but most of the thrills are past tense, slowly being uncovered.

A struggling author hears an amazing book plot that he then steals when the original author who came up with the plot dies.

You get to follow present day mixed with the actual book written. The dread of being found out was really compelling. I predicted the end but there were still good twists and turns.

It may have been a little predictable with a protagonist that was semi-passive towards his external conflict at first, but the more you read the better it gets and as you read you'll find the narration to be very enjoyable with clever and cheeky references to reality and the things writers go through. This story could definitely be a movie.

It was okay. Dragged in some parts. The twist was good.
