[Informal Review] The Summer I Died

*review taken from my account in Goodreads

This book was harrowing. At first I thought, "Come on. This is only 26 Chapters long. Let's start the suspense already." I was on the ninth chapter, and when I finally reached THE part, I wished I hadn't hoped for it to start so soon, because what lay ahead on the remaining chapters was all agony and torture, and not a single thing for you to be glad about. I read this book before going to sleep, and I finished it before going to sleep. I wouldn't want it to give me nightmares about psychotic killers if I'd stop midway and let my imagination run wild. I didn't know how i swallowed all that bitter bile of torture in one gulp, or why i even bothered to take a further taste of it halfway through the book. Possibly because I didn't want to delay the feelings I have crumpled up for it. I wanted it to be over already, and I was dead curious what would happen in the end. It is scary. It really is. The book showed how your life span can change from years into numbered days in just a split second. The maniac was bloody crazy, and it's terrifying to think that it's not entirely wrong that these kinds of events and people lurk in the same world we are in.
