Review:
"Finding Sanity" by T.R. Stoddard was a horror and thriller read. This author really knows how to keep the reader interested only giving us a intensed read that offers you all kinds of craziness in that only Randall presents the reader. Now, he wasn't by himself in all this craziness .... in that Allison(Randall's girlfriend)omg, when Randall sees that she is wasn't far behind him in his craziness who had ended up blackmailing him wanting Jeff dead. Were they both 'homicidal maniacs?' This author did a wonderful job in the deliverance in "Finding Sanity." Was this novel real or a figment of Randall's imaginations? Either way you will be intrigued till the end just wondering what would come next. Even Randall's family ...Randall's mom and brother were a strange bunch too. I think in the end he only had Mr. Snuggiekins.
"Finding Sanity" gave us a ride in Randall's mind that was filled with intensive,mind-blowing ride that will only chill you to the bone and will leave you only saying WOW! Be ready for lots of fast action that will keep you reading every single word dealing with these 'bloodthirsty psychopaths.'
From this author says it all....

Now this is the time that I will say you will have to pick up "Finding Sanity" to see for yourself just what this novel is all about.... What a horrible ending you will get! I will only say if you are wanting a novel that will chill you to the bone in more ways than one, then this novel would be recommended to you. I will say "Finding Sanity" may not be for the faint-hearted. It will be a intensed.

I was one of a small fraction of lucky people to have read parts of this novel as it was in progress, and to see the final result is wonderful. This story will keep you on the edge of your seat as Randall goes about his day-to-day life and the crazy things meandering through his mind. Sorting out what is real and what is a figment of Randall's imagination keeps you guessing until the very end.

Review: I was given the chance to read this book in exchange for an honest review from the author.
This book was fantastic, if not a little confusing at times. The level of insanity is very much believable, and it will keep you interested as we follow Randall's day to day life. The interactions between Randall and Allison were interesting as well and will keep you wondering if they are both homicidal maniacs. Stoddard's deliverance of this novel was above and beyond fantastic, a wonderful job and well admired.
Was this all just a figment of Randall's imagination or was it real? That is for the reader to determine as they read. Each page has you wondering what will happen next, continually guessing and wondering what new venture will spawn from Randall's insanity. However, Randall isn't the only member of his family that is 'strange,' his mother and brother are strange as well. Was Mr. Snuggiekins all that Randall really had in the end?
Two words that come to mind when reading this story spun by Stoddard, and that is “bloodthirsty psychopaths.” They are there and the action that surrounds them will keep you on the edge of your seat. This ride is not for the weak of heart, not for those who cannot tolerate intensity, and those who do not like a bone chilling tale. If you are eager to share someone else's insanity, then “Finding Sanity” is definitely for you.

I thought "Finding Sanity" by T.R. Stoddard ws okay but confusing at times. The characters were believable in their insanity. The plot was very twisted but very confusing because it doesn't really explain if what happened at the beginning is a result of what happened at the end. It jumps around to much in the beginning and leaves you confused throughout most of the rest of the book. The ending cuts off to quickly without explaining things and leaves the reader with a bunch of unanswered questions. I would only recommend this book for anyone who is into insanity and murder type books.
