“I am no prophet, and never claimed to
be, but I understand what I was shown. The only night worth remembering in my
life is the only night I try to forget. It was a night I lived with even before
I lived it. It was the night I met the shadow within myself - the part of me
that had been whispering violent noises that foreshadowed that night with
subtle and inconspicuous caresses.” (6)
Writing is dark and lovely. Although
the narrative is from the views of a young man coming-of-age journey, it’s
purely philosophical. It constantly provokes deep-rooted questions with
uncertain answers. The way the main character views life, it’s almost like
reading about Holden Caulfield. For me, the reading was a combination of fiction
and a textbook with my preference leaning more toward the former.
But, all in all, the writing was
strong and the read was inquisitive.
My rating: 3 stars
