I Know...

by David Jester

Palmer is a typical teenager; he doesn’t care much about the world. His parents rarely see him coming outside of his dark and rancid bedroom and his mother doesn’t approve of his “bimbo” girlfriend. But Palmer is not what he appears to be. Palmer is a fake; his online identity is fake; the promises he makes to his “sponsors” are fake; the girls whose provocative photographs he exploits are fake. Palmer’s world may not be real, but that fakeness has made him richer than he could have ever imagined. But while he is mentally swimming in money like a modern Scrooge McDuck, he receives the first email. Fear, worry and paranoia creep in his mind, corroding it from within. No crime goes unpunished; reality always raises its ugly head. I Know… is a black comedy/thriller by David Jester, the best-selling author of An Idiot in Love and The Clinic.

[Mike · Rating 3 out of 5]

A good quick read. I gave I Know.... 3 1/2 stars.

[Bandit · Rating 1 out of 5]

Clichéd slasher novella about a reprehensible teenage boy who scams men online, his IQ challenged (dumb as dirt also applies but might be insulting to dirt) girlfriend and his oddly humored and very involved parents. The writing is serviceable, but extremely plain, flat and unimaginative, much like the story. It wasn't the absolutely worst thing out there(Kindle's invention for all its awesomeness has given opportunity for all sorts of junk to populate the market)and it's kindly brief, but it doesn't really have a thing to recommend itself.

Perfectly Unique

This is my first book in this genre and I loved every page. It's a wild ride of gripping curiosity, wrenching fear, chilling suspense and clever comedy.

a short gripping but funny read
