Housebroken: A Horror Thriller by The Behrg

4.0

Housebroken is like a non-stop action movie. It is fast and relentless. There is a lot of graphic violence so much so I nearly stopped reading at one stage (that pool scene at the beginning, that's still in my mind even now). If you are sensitive, this may not be the book for you. However, the writing was so refined and totally awesome, and there were so many intriguing developments, I just had to keep going to find out what exactly was going on and why. The storyline and all the characters are extremely well developed, and as the plot thickens you get enough of the characters' histories that you feel emotionally involved. While I didn't find any of the characters redeeming, they were fascinating in a sick sort of way. The most mesmerizing character though was neither the protagonist nor the vicious villain but the protagonist's son. I loved the little hints that gave you just enough to carry on reading to find out what exactly the deal was. Not my usual type of book, but well worth reading, and I would certainly read more by this author simply because I liked his style of writing.
Thanks to the author and his publicist for my copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased review.
