So I think this could have been a great book if it was marketed differently. In my opinion this was not a thriller or suspense book. It was not riveting or bone chilling or any of the other quotes in the endorsements. What I think it could have been is a brilliant and scathing satirical humorous take on forum posters. The premise of the book being these forum posts was unique and really well done it seems easy but I think DeWitt did a really good job of capturing the voice of these types of guys. This anonymous poster is full of it and of himself and he's really getting off on this attention from his post. He keeps dragging it out and stopping at hook points "because it's so hard" you don't know if you are supposed to believe him or if he even believes himself or if the whole thing is a joke, a story, a social experiment. His story isn't very good. It's not scary at all, it's super predictable of course it was going to be a possession. And the details were so far fetched it was funny. The way he saw and talked about himself and his supposed oblivion to what was really going on at the end was really well done. It really felt like some schmuck trolling a forum. Now if that had actually been the authors intention then he did a remarkable job and I would have given the book 5 stars. As it stands though I think I'm supposed to read this as an actual horror/suspense novel based on the endorsements and marketing in which case if that was the authors intention. He did a terrible job. As an actual borrow novel I would give this one star. But if he got screwed over by marketing I feel bad for him and his actual writing gets 5 stars. I'd like to know from him what his intentions were.
