I don’t want to spoil much, but if you’re on the fence about this book, just read it. I currently subscribe to the ghost/purgatory theory as well as the murderer theory, but that’s not a spoiler because there are so many different ways to interpret this books it’s crazy. Definitely a book that creeps under your skin without you knowing it, then you find yourself sitting in traffic thinking about it on the way home from work.
Also, I think the best way to read this book (if you want to form a theory for yourself) is to see what’s NOT being said/included in this story. What does Mr. Weer not want to talk about? That’s where the real story is.
