Die Schauerromantik muss man wirklich mögen um dieses Drama auch zu mögen, denn es finden sich fast alle klassischen Merkmale für diese Stilrichtung...es ist zwar interessant, wie selbst der Leser teilweise Probleme hat zu unterscheiden was Fantasievorstellung und was Realität ist, jedoch lässt es sich dadurch auch nur seeehr holprig lesen.

Man findet auch keinen Helden in der Hauptrolle, sondern einen traumatisierten jungen Mann, aber außer dass der Inhalt auch ein abgeschwächter Psycho-Thriller sein könnte, kann nicht viel Spannung aufgebaut werden, da die Hauptfigur kaum vorgestellt wird und man somit nicht wirklich "gefesselt" von dem Plot ist, oder "mitfiebert", sondern alles eher aus als ein Zuschauer aus einer weiteren Entfernung betrachtet...
