There's no use shutting out the night. Because the orphan is already inside. Dare you read to the end of The Orphan?

How do i write a review on this & be nice ?? sorry i can't this book is nowhere near the blurb the cover got me in but the premise on this was very weak. i found myself skimming through chapters to see where the scary parts were but guess what there weren't any.
How this author thinks its scary is beyond me wont be touching his other novels, i hope i am not too savage but this was very poor indeed.

5/3 - I have no idea how Adam connects with Darren or what on Earth is going on with all the weirdness. Is Adam the lost child of the 'Nocturnals' and in their attempts to reclaim him they're murdering anyone who gets in their way. The description of the 'Nocturnals'' faces kind of reminds me Michael Myers' chalk white plaster mask. Who called Raya and caused the mystery bike wheels to spin? Was it the 'Nocturnals'? Some kind of astral projection of Adam? A ghostly version of Darren from the past? And what about Darren's inferno dream? Did it nearly happen and it's a memory? Is it a warning from the past or a threat from the 'Nocturnals'? There are so many possibilities that my mind is gong round and round trying to figure it out before Ransom 'tells' us. My favourite of the three 'horror' books from the library. To be continued...
A little while later - What the hell was going on in Chapter 12 with Sheila? There is so much weird stuff going on it's hard to keep track of it all. When I read the blurb this book sounded like it was going to be about an evil boy taken in by the Lynwoods who then begin to experience Amityville-like goings-on, eventually leading to the boy's, or the family's deaths. I did not expect Adam to be what seems like, at the moment, some kind of pawn. The appearance of the 'Nocturnals' was even more surprising (I thought Adam was imagining things to begin with), as they make me think of some kind of alien who're trying, unsuccessfully, to assimilate into the human population by making themselves look human, but can't get it right, and so end up looking more like nightmarish monsters than humans, which is thwarting their plans for...whatever it is they're planning. To be continued...
6/3 - On page 151 the way Adam is describing the fact that things seem different, especially the cars and self-checkout at the supermarket might be a clue that he's from the past. He doesn't believe he could possibly be in the future because whenever that happens in the movies people are always dressed in tin foil clothes and driving flying cars. Those kind of movies sound like the stuff of the 60s, like Flash Gordon or Lost in Space, around the time when Darren would have been young. Was that a clue that Adam is Darren, somehow transported to the future for, as yet unknown reasons?
A few hours later - Okay, so not a past version of Darren, but a 'friend' of Darren's who he treated dreadfully in some way or other. Adam's memories of movies set in the future with flying cars and tin foil clothes may still mean that he's somehow been transported from Darren's childhood. The fact that he's a ghostly apparition who was treated badly (translated: tormented and possibly even murdered) reminds of an episode of Supernatural. Hell, I've seen so many horror/supernatural shows that everything reminds me of something else. There are no new plots, just different ways of telling them. To be continued...
7/3 - Where'd Thursday go? Oh, that's right I spent most of it on a plane, crossing the date line. So, here we are on Friday with another update on Christopher Ransom's The Orphan. Currently of the opinion that Adam is a vengeful spirit who's not that vengeful, yet, because he doesn't know he's dead and has been for about 30 years. Not clear on who killed Adam - abusive father or stupid kids taking bullying to the next level, but when Adam works it out I think the vengefulness will become apparent. Still no idea of how the 'Nocturnals' fit into the whole story. I'm still asking myself "why are they chasing Adam"? Is that really who's driving the brown van? Is Sheila a 'Nocturnal'? And when she talks about her brother being the reason for her current situation does she mean Adam or Darren? To be continued...
13/3 - After finishing The Orphan I came to see if my opinion followed the general GR consensus - it seems it does not. I'm one of the few writing a positive review. Many of the things other reviewers found detrimental to the story I didn't mind or found natural to the mysterious and confusing flow of a horror story. Obviously I had it completely wrong, but at the same time I picked up on some of the clues Ransom gave us to who Adam really was. The reader was told that the book was a certain type of book with a certain type of plot and so that's what I was expecting, looking for as I read, but then it turned out to something quite different and I was completely shocked when the true story was revealed. The ending was really good, although my brain started hurting when Adam met the man from the bike auction and I really had to concentrate my thoughts in order to untangle the wool ball of a puzzle that happened with who was who and when they were who they were. I am definitely going to continue reading Ransom's books.

4 STARS
I actually liked this book, but I have to explain.
Found it at a sale, bought it and then I read some of the reviews on Goodreads, which were not very favorable. So, I shelfed the book for a few months. But, being too cheap to pay for something without even trying it, I started reading it with the expectation of dumping it after a hundred pages or so. The important thing here was that I didn’t read the blurb again.
It was a good story and I enjoyed it. I have absolutely no problem with the supernatural element of the story and, in my opinion, the writer explained it well enough to let everything make sense, ESPECIALLY how the main characters connected.
The criticism I have, like other reviewers before me, is that the blurb was misleading. And, maybe the book was a little longer than it could have been, but I wouldn’t say that I was ever bored by the story.
Overall, I will NOT recommend it to readers who:
- Likes to skim chapters – the storyline is too intricate and you will miss something important.
- Wants a light read – it will need your full attention if you don’t want to get lost in it.
There are two issues I want to raise:
One – Dear Mr. Ransom,
I don’t know if you write your own blurbs or not, but most people hate to be tricked, especially when they have to pay for something and get something else in return. Your writing is strong enough to avoid such cheap trickery.
Two – Dear Goodreads reviewer,
Reviews are based on opinions, and everybody has a right to have their own. However, when you don’t finish a book, how can you rate it?
For example, if you take a car for a test drive, and as soon as you leave the lot, you turn to the salesman and say:
“What? This car doesn’t have power-steering?”
So you stop the car, get out and tell the world what a shit car it is…
How can you rate an entire car by one feature?
If this doesn’t sound like a pretentious asshole to you, then your opinion is not worthy of other people’s time.
By all means, if you don’t want to finish a book, write a review and tell people why you didn’t like it, but don’t fuck up the author’s rating if you didn’t, at least, finish the product you are supposed to score.

Christopher Ransom is one of those authors that you either love his work or you hate it. Personally I think a lot of this stems from the fact that people expect truly terrifying horrors of him. Whilst he does offer the horror aspects it is not to the same degree of some other authors.
Whilst I enjoyed this book I was expecting it to be a bit more focused upon the spooky aspects than it was. A lot of it looks at working out the mystery of the story – which is all well and good – but I would have liked a few more bumps in the night than what I was given. That being said, I really did like the characters and the twists. The ending was a nice change to my usual teary eyes that I’ve been finding myself with lately, offering me an uplifting ending when placed next to some of my books. I’d most certainly recommend it to any of his fans.

Brilliantly written, with a unique plot that kept me guessing. Just when I thought every stone had been unturned, three more popped up and I never saw some of the plot twists coming!
Occasionally some of the metaphors lost me and there were a couple of underdeveloped characters but all in all this was a brilliant, mysterious thriller - undeserving of some of the harsher reviews on here.

Ok this is the second book this year that has taken me soooooooooooo long to read were talking a month maybe longer. Also sadly the best page of this book was actually the page that described another of the man's books. This was overly long and drawn out. It was guessable even I knew what was really going on by the end. Characters were randomly introduced half way through the book it seemed really for no reason. And this whole BMX bike thing been such a massive thing throughout the book drove me insane it was just not needed. Its not really like me to be this negative but i couldn't even pick a character that i liked none of them seemed particularly real. Questions I had were were they supernatural or just bad and also why were some bits so overly sexualised it seemed out of place for me and it felt a tad creepy. Sorry to say i didn't enjoy this obviously i will always be open to trying another of his books but just probably not anytime soon.

Read this over the weekend. No idea how any of the characters connect to one another and I am not sure the writer does either.
Story is pretty boring to be honest. I figured most of it out long before the end. Couldn't figure out if some of the characters were supernatural entities or simply bad people. Its pretty poorly written unfortunately. The writer also seems rather obsessed with female characters been total hobags as well.Its odd.
I enjoyed his first two books but this one is truly awful. I give it 1 star for been able to finish it.

I picked this book up since it was part of a 3 for £5 offer in The Works. I'd never read a horror before so I didn't know what to expect with it, but the concept sounded good so I thought I'd give it a try. I am very glad I did as it was a brilliant book, full of twists and unexpected turns.
I thought that the prologue was quite boring since it mainly consisted of talk of bikes which isn't a topic that I understand in much detail or care about but I decided that I would carry on, since the whole book wouldn't revolve around bikes. Bikes were mentioned a lot since that was a huge part of the story but it became less noticeable throughout as more action and mystery was added to the mix.
Christopher Ransom's writing is very descriptive and I could easily picture each scene. After the prologue the first few chapters were very gripping. As the story went on more characters were introduced that seemed to have completely different storylines but in the end it all linked together extremely well. At some parts I was even scared to turn my light out and go to sleep!
Overall I gave it a 3.5/5 because the writing was amazing and I would definitely read other books by Christopher Ransom.

Seemed to be going no where for a long time and not sure I understood the ending!

I'm not sure how I felt about this book. To be honest it took me about 200+ pages( near halfway) to actually piece together the purpose of all the characters as well as get an idea on the plot of the book.
Eventually everything did make sense, however the last 10 pages were mediocre and slightly confusing. I found myself constantly paging back and rereading sections to try and make sense of it all. I was pretty relieved when I had finished the book. I wouldn't file this title as a horror fiction (which was the main reason why I had wanted to read it) but rather as a mystery.
I must admit the ending was pretty unexpected. I do not regret reading this title- as it has been on my wishlist for quite sometime now- but I do feel the synopsis on the back of the book was highly misleading.

So, I guess the only way I can describe this book is average...
I thought the premise was interesting from the blurb on the back but, in reality, it wasnt really representative of what the story was about.
There were some gruesome moments which I thought were done well but none that really scared me which is a shame.
I did enjoy the twist although I had almost figured out most of it.
Having read a couple of Ransom's books before, this was my least favourite but still enjoyable for the most part so this gets 3 stars from me.

I think this book is about a child who suffered abuse at the hands of his parents and kids he wanted to hang out with and when he worked so hard towards something he wanted and that was also taken away from him he lost it and split his personality and became Darren the boy who he looked up to who was rich etc. Adam protected himself by becoming someone else and his family will feel like monsters because of what they did to him growing up. Then at the end he realised that he was in control and didn’t need to be scared of them anymore.

Talk about a misleading blurb! It was sort of a good story but told so confusingly that it really lost its momentum.
August 1, 2017
A very clever and surprising book that is well put together and hard to stop reading.
December 1, 2018
What an exceptional read. It's been months since I've picked up a book and I couldn't put it down even for a moment.
May 2, 2019
A bit wierd, this is a combination psychological thriller and ghost story. The story can be a bit hard to follow at times but not a bad read.
July 28, 2019
Have read all of Christopher Ransoms books and this is probably the poorest it just drifted not scarey
October 26, 2019
Didn't really jive with this one - got a bit bored and found it hard to get motivated to pick it back up again.
November 8, 2025
It was good and had parts that often made me want to read on, but had other bits that weren't as thrilling. While I liked it, I'm not sure I'd want to read it again.
February 23, 2017
I enjoyed this book and liked the twist but not sure the blurb on the back was at all relevant to what happened in the story. I haven't read a Christopher Ransom book before but would like to try another.
February 23, 2017
I DNF'd this about 100 pages from the end. This just wasn't what I wanted, what I expected or in anyway a good story! Talk about dull and yet confusing!

Darren and Beth Lynwood always dreamed of having their own son, but when young runaway Adam enters their lives he brings with him a darkness that threatens to devour the family and everyone within it’s sights! Darren starts finding himself haunted by his own childhood and remembers himself as not much different to Adam. As buried secrets are raised the family home becomes a hunting ground of evil that will not die. Is there anything the Lynwoods can do to stop it all? Or is it too late as the orphan is already inside? You will have to read in order to find out, but will you make it to the end of the story or not?
This is the perfect story for readers who enjoy horror, crime and suspense filled stories. The Orphan has received many mixed reviews as it is another of those books you either love or hate. This is the first book I have read by Christopher Ransom and I awarded it four stars as I found a few parts of the story wierd and confusing, but other than that it was an easy to read, fast paced story I enjoyed. I have plenty of books by Christopher Ransom on my bookshelves and this has not put me off reading more by him. I would recommend this to you all, but it may not be everyone’s cup of tea! I must confess it is more scarier to read in bed at night alone, I dare you. Enjoy!

I enjoyed the book. The story was good. I would have given it 4 stars but have knocked one off due to the unacceptable number of spelling mistakes in the book! Had it been a self published ebook I might have felt a little more lenient but this is a book form a fairly established author and a professional publishing company that quite frankly should not be making these basic mistakes. My spelling has never been fantastic so if I'm noticing mistakes then it must be bad! It won't put me off reading more of his work in the future as I really enjoy his stories and writing style but lets hope they get it sorted as it really is off putting.

I had a really hard time in the begging of this book. I was sure that I wouldn't like it. Mostly because it wasn't what I expected it to be and it was a bit to "paranormal" for my taste (although i enjoy that genre every ones in a while, it wasn't what I was after when I bought this particular book). But as I read on and the more you got to know about the characters I found it hard to put the book down.
In the end I really got in to it and tormented my friends with what I've just read and how exited I was to find out how it all ends.
Overall it was a really good book and I'm glad I finished it. Super thrilling and a kick-ass rap-up!

I admit it. I gave up on this book at 58%. I was bored. By that amount of reading, you feel like you should be in the thick of the story but I still felt like the writer was setting the scene for something big to happen. It was like reading a Stephen King novel with every aspect of the story being draaaaaaaged out, including unnecessary details. I'll never find out because this is a book I won't be revisiting. Shame, because I really enjoyed his previous books. This was long awaited but I feel a lot of people are going to be disappointed by this one.

Kitabın arkasındaki açıklama kısmı Lynwood ailesinin bir yetimi evlatlık aldığını, çocuğun sonrasında klasik korku filmlerindeki gibi aileye dehşet saçtığını anlatıyordu, ama kitabın bununla alakası yok keşke bir kitabı okusalarmış yazarken. Ailenin soyadı bile yanlış yazılmış.
Bunun dışında son 50-60 sayfaya kadar benim için 3lük bir kitaptı. Stephen King tarzı ucube, hem tiksinti, hem korku uyandıran karakterler yazılmaya çalışılmış ama kötü bir çakması gibi olmuş. Ama son kısımla 4ü hak ettti. Şaşırtıcı ve akıcıydı.

I've read three Christopher Ransom books now, The Birthing House, The People Next Door and now Orphan. I think Orphan has to be the better of the three without a doubt. My biggest complaint about all his books has got to be that they are all like really rubbish horror movies that you pick up from Poundland, and this one was no exception. Although it was a cool idea it's written like your watching a poorly executed horror movie. Nice cheesy read, but won't really broaden your horizons.

Hate having to give up on a book but life is too short to read something you don't enjoy. Got a hundred pages in and just couldn't take it any more.
I don't like the whole style of writing and the whole thing is written like a really cheap, cheesy horror movie and I just could not take any more of the clichés.

Christopher Ransom is a great author who always delivers a good shock or two with his disturbingly well written stories. But this one had which a pretty good twists in it that most won't see coming. But the character's are well written and it has a really good plot an really enjoyable read for those who are a fan of the horror genre.
