Review
What an emotional roller-coaster ride this was! It felt like I was transported into Matty’s body and I could feel the torture that’s eating him! His state of mental turmoil was perfectly written in meticulous details, which enabled me to see, feel, and experience his distressing, but thrilling journey with Lisa.
I’m giving this book 5 out of 5 stars. It’s a story that is both charming and disturbing, one that will make you question which events are real, and which ones are recurring nightmares. I highly recommend this book to everyone who read Elephant, and to all mature readers who want to experience a ride into the mental state of a teenage boy who suffers from PTSD.
