THINGS I LIKED:
*** It's a short novella, easily read in one day.
*** even though it's short, there's a lot packed in. Had my brain working overtime on theories, and I could not put it down. I didn't just want to keep reading, I NEEDED to.
*** major nostalgic vibes.
*** a lot of good points, makes you really think about things.
*** the illustrations were so cool, perfectly added to the overall feel of the book.
*** the authors writing style is amazing. His ability makes you feel so uncomfortable and just build on that feeling with each page *chefs kiss*
*** page 68. Iykyk. I had to put the book down and regroup myself.
*** the afterthought at the end of the book, loved being able to to get know authors thoughts.
*** this cover just gives me the creeps. It makes my skin crawl, and I don't mean just figuratively... this cover gives me goosebumps every time I stare at it. LOVE THAT!
*** Marcus himself did the cover design and graphics.
(My original rating was going to be 4.5 stars, but I haven't been able to stop thinking about this book since I've finished reading it over a week ago... so I've changed it to a well-deserved 5 star.)
This was my first read from Marcus, but it won't be the last. I've got Miracle Sin on my bookshelf and Acts of Violence somewhere on an amazon truck on its journeys to my house.
Thanks to Marcus Hawke for sending an arc of Grey Noise for me to read and review. As always, opinions are my own.
