Thirty-Seven by Peter Stenson

Really enjoyed this book and looked forward to reading it when I wasn't. It had a Fight Club feel from the sense of a cult trying to change the world, with the story being told by a potentially unreliable narrator, but better written than Fight Club. Just a riveting, quirky story.
I'm not a fan of horror and would probably not label this as horror myself although there were some graphically gruesome parts (for me). I also had issues with the narrator being eighteen. He felt too wise beyond his years, even if I were to give him credit for street smarts. I've been around kids in their late teens and it was hard to fathom one of them being as precocious? (precocious doesn't seem the right word for a late teen) as the narrator. Still enjoyed this very much and would recommend it.
