Quite an unusual book with a twist at the end that twists again! You are never quite sure what is real & what is not.

I don't know what to think of this story, it has left me befuddled. I have nightmares of being stuck in my mind and getting lost. Even before this.
Right. The tale is well told and I can picture the hows as this is our current reality in South Africa.
I feel both sorry for Slade and not, all at once.
I don't know how to in words how I feel - especially as I don't know how I'm feeling...

Thoroughly enjoyed this mystery story about a writers-blocked author who goes through a writing slump and comes up with a hair-brained scheme to revive his juju. And then things go very not to plan... I think I'd have enjoyed it even more had I read it as a proper book rather than in small bites of time as an eBook. I guessed the ending... But was still surprised at the twist. Can't say more without being a spoiler :-)
I have to admit, a couple of the sex scenes left me a little red-faced over my breakfast in the work canteen...
If you like murder-mystery stuff - especially if you regard a South African setting as a bonus - then definitely give this a read.
