Come Winter by Evan Hunter

kilcannon's review against another edition

4.0

Doesn't have quite the impact of the first book, but it's still a great look into the banality of evil. Like if the hang from Last House on the Left had money.

A non-satirical, realistic, comples and psychologically observant American Psycho. But no cartoonish violence. Hardly any at all, really.

This book was exactly as perfect as its predecessor. Well, maybe not exactly exactly. Dreading the arrival of winter and being a passionate hater of skiing and the like, I do admit that I preferred the setting of "Last Summer", the beach and the gorgeous sea, not to forget this adorable and so very intelligent gull... But everything else was absolutely amazing and I'm so very sad that I've already finished it! It's crazy, it's like these books were written for me specifically. I love the writing style and the sociopathic characters and their absolutely brilliant sense of humor. Not much is happening, and yet the book immediately manages to draw you in and fall in love with those crazy people. And whilst not being a complete shocker, it did manage to surprise me a couple times. Plus, it's surely one of the funniest novels I've ever read! Just...gosh, these are the kinds of books I'd love to write if I were an author. Probably not most people's cup of tea, but I thought it was so very, very delicious!
