Love this book, It'll be one featured on my "11 best books of 2011" special for the first of the year
Good Points
Patrick Carman is always one of my favorite authors (at least of what I've read so far!) I love all the little things that make sense in the book, but are way cooler if you've read Masque of Red Death (no, not the one Bethany Griffin, the original, Edgar Allan Poe) and several others that I'm going to leave up to you to find. The book is psychological both in the sense of characters and the senses of the reader. It makes you believe that you know everything, not about what's going on, but about how the character sees it. then, it rips the carpet out from under your feet and leaves you breathless. Leaves you wondering, leaves you with questions. And, there's a big moment that hits you like no other surprise. It's like that moment when you tip your chair too far backward. Not to mention the app is super creepy. (I hide behind whatever book I happen to have near.)
