dark mysterious tense fast-paced

5.0

A new all time favourite book. Ellis captures the 80s and the nature of teenagers and the violence and insecurity of youth in a perfect way. Could not put it down, i was hooked from the first sentence. He has the talent to not make you feel like a voyeur looking into the life of the characters but like a part of the world their inhabitate.
