Carnivorous Lunar Activities by Max Booth III
5.0
Max Booth is an author who is known for imbuing his fiction with humour. And this is no exception. Sure, the horror is prevalent as well, given that Justin believes he is a werewolf. And the full moon is on the rise. But given that much of the novel takes place in one setting with two characters in conversation, there had to be something more to the story. And that's where Booth's knack with humour takes centre-stage. The dialogue between Ted and Justin is so incredibly genuine, it is reminiscent of the kind of goofy conversations I would have with my friends when I was younger. The characters are brilliant, and the way Booth structured the story is amazing, with each chapter ending on something of a cliffhanger, meaning I found myself uttering "just one more chapter" more and more.
The validity of Justin's claims are explored in the second part of the story, the truth finally revealed by the full moon. Is he really a werewolf, or is he just delusional? If you really want to know, pick up the book. It is one of the most entertaining reading experiences I've had in some time, and Max Booth is fast becoming one of my favourite authors.
