In the House of Mirrors by Tim Meyer
3.0
3.5 stars!
In the House of Mirrors is a fun book. It's not deep or profound but it's a fun, engrossing story and sometimes that's all I need. I don't need or want every book I read to shake my world. It's fast paced and entertaining and I easily got lost in the plot and characters. It is very plot driven because it is primarily told through first person point of view. Because of that, I did feel like it was lacking some deeper, descriptive language that could have enhanced the overall story. But it was never boring to see the situations through Ritchie Naughton's eyes. He definitely keeps his wit and sarcasm throughout. It could have been a pretty dark and depressing book if Ritchie wasn't as funny as he was. While Ritchie is the main protagonist, my love goes to Little Chris. Oh Little Chris; he reminds me of a young Ben Hanscom (from It). He's chubby, kind of dorky, so sweet, and fiercely loyal. He really added an additional layer to the story, gave it more depth and definitely made it more emotional.
