The Girl with a Clock for a Heart
by Peter Swanson
I enjoyed this book. It definitely hooked the reader by letting them know just enough about two story lines between the two main characters. The first of which was set in present day, and the other was set 20 years prior. The publisher (or perhaps Swanson) did the reader a favor and changed the font for the book for when they story switched back to the earlier time period so it was incredibly simple to identify what the time setting was for each new chapter. At the end of each chapter, there was just enough information to keep me, as the reader, wanting to find out what happened next.
The only complaint I may have is that the main character, George, had the tendency to make decisions as if he was the main character in a horror movie (i.e. "I guess the best way to get out of this two story house and away from the killer would be to run up the stairs to the attic). There were more than a few times that I noticed myself shaking my head at his stupidity. But, at the same time, perhaps that what kept me more interested. Even the ending had a bit of a horror-movie vibe to it, ending in a perfect cliff-hanger of uncertainty about what really happened.
Again, this wasn't the best book I've ever read, but with how quickly I made it through it along with how hooked I became while reading it, I think it was a pretty solid book.
