Carry Me Down by M.J. Hyland
4.0
4.5 stars
I underestimated this book as it has an average Goodreads rating of 3.3 stars.
This book really captured the essence and physique of a young boy bordering on insanity due to family and environmental trauma he was experiencing at such a young age.
It was absorbing and a page turner.
I think the ending could have been stronger and to be honest the novel a little longer. I didn’t want to end. I was hooked.
It reminded me of Crime and Punishment as like the protagonist in that novel, John our main character in Carry Me Down edges closer and closer to the criminally insane. It is fascinating how the narrator becomes more unreliable over time and you begin to second guess what they are choosing to tell the reader.
Just a great novel.
