The Last House on Needless Street: by Catriona Ward
WOW WOW WOW!! 5 Stars! I rarely give 5 stars!!
If you like page-turning-what-the-heck-is going-on-twisty-weird-huh-no!-wait!-oh-crap-I-knew-it-no-I’m-wrong-keep-you-on-the-edge-of-your-seat reading…. Go Get This Book!!
I could NOT put this down. At the very last page I wanted to go back to the first page and start it all over again! I wanted to retrace my steps, align everything up again and catch what I may have missed.
The publisher’s description of this book is totally correct: “You think you’ve read this story before. That’s where you are wrong.” SO TRUE!
To summarize this book without giving anything away is tricky. This book is told from multiple perspectives (a cat included) and pops around between different time periods. Its generally about a guy who doesn’t fit in, his past, his present and all the really crazy stuff that has and is going on in his life.
I have heard some people say this is a horror. I’m my opinion, now way. This is not a horror. The closest I get to horror is Stephen King and this doesn’t even touch some of the creepy goings on in Maine.
The narrator of the audiobook... forget about it! Amazing! I thought I was listening to a few different people there for a while. Christopher Ragland is unbelievable, seriously. I am going to have to search out some other books he has narrated just because of him.
Oh... I will be reading this again. A few book club commitments and I’m right back to page one of this doozy!
