OMG that's all I can say, just kidding!

Wow a truly clever and brilliant book. I had to keep going back a chapter as I couldn't believe half of what I was reading sometimes and had to re read to make sure! A different book to any I've reads before the plot and the idea of it, I actually felt so sorry for the lead character in the end and can see why he was the was he was! A sad read in places but so gripping all the way through, has you constantly questioning who is who and is it real? I loved it and can't wait for his next book if it's anything like this offering! Read it in one sitting and do not move from the sofa until I was finished! Outstanding!!!

If you liked Girl on the Train you might find this interesting as well because the story set up and writing style is very similar. If you read a lot of these you’ll probably figure out very quickly where the story will go but if you do and keep going with it I found the writing to be worth my time to read.

As a parent this one was hard to read because the author knows how to write a thriller that will make you tap into that paranoid side of your emotions. His words and sentence structure is almost lyrical in its descriptions and writing style. Something that took a bit to get used to were the chapters inserted between the story with Dylan since those were focused on therapy sessions with a psychologist but eventually the duality in the storyline makes sense.

There is some vagueness to the characters which in most circumstances would be irritating but somehow Grayson makes it work by writing them in such a way you’re able to use your own imagination to fill in the blanks.

It starts off a bit slow, almost on the boring side, like the slow climb towards the apex of a rollercoaster hill. Then it’s like you hit the top of the hill and the storyline begins to escalate just as quickly with your breath locked in your chest as you’re waiting to find out the conclusion to all this madness and darkness.

I found by the end all the questions you could possibly ask were answered and in a logical manner. Grayson’s writing style flows quickly and combined that with the extremely short chapters you find yourself flipping through this book faster than you’d expect.

Unfortunately this book was not my cup of tea, and I didn't really enjoy it.
I'd like to thank the Author and publisher for giving me the chance to do so however and I hope others like the book more than I have.

A well deserved 5 stars for what is easily one of the best books of the year so far. Impossible to put down!

Boy in the Park sounded like an unputdownable read but it was the opposite, the story just didn't seem to flow and I found it so hard to get into.
