Smithy by Amanda Desiree
4.0
In 1972, renowned researcher Dr. Piers Preis-Herald brought together a group of collegiate researchers to study the inner lives of man's closest relative--primates. His team would undertake their study by raising a young chimpanzee and teaching him American Sign Language. The primate selected was born chimpanzee #710642 at the Kohlberg Center for Primate Research. He would eventually be known to the world as Smithy.
Nearly fifty years after the Smithy Project ended in tragedy at Trevor Hall, the question remains: Was Smithy a hoax? A clever mimic? A Rorschach projection of humanity's greatest hopes and fears? Or was he indeed what devotees of metaphysics have claimed for so long: a link between our world and the next?
“Smithy”was different from anything I have read before, about 500 pages it is a bit of a sense read. Although the style of which Amanda decided to go definitely made it more interesting and kept my attention. While I don’t think it’s necessarily a horror novel, more on the thriller side, horror fans would enjoy it. Thank you so much to Netgalley for letting me read “Smithy” in exchange for an honest review.
