The Keeper by Sarah Langan

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This book is both a disturbing and fantastic read. I found myself reading it in large chunks, staying up til 4 in the morning for two reasons: 1) It was 'un-putdownable' and 2) it got to me so much that I wanted to get through it as quickly as possible, like getting blood taken!
I thought I had a dark and twisted mind but Langan takes the biscuit! In fact, reading her work has inspired me to let loose even more with my own writing...

Overall, it's a must-read but not for the faint-hearted. It will psycologically imprint on you and linger long after you've put it down. The Keeper has a Stephen King quality to it in the way Langan builds the climax and her disturbing imagery which is vivid to say the least!

The only bad thing I have to say about it is that the last bit dragged slightly and tended to repeat itself a little too much. Otherwise, I couldn't reccommend it more.
