There is nothing extraordinary about Chris Rowan. Each day he wakes to the same faces, has the same breakfast, the same commute, the same sort of homes he tries to rent out to unsuspecting tenants.
There is nothing extraordinary about Chris Rowan. That is apart from the black dog that haunts his nightmares and an unexpected encounter with a long forgotten demon from his past. A nudge that will send Chris on his own downward spiral, from which there may be no escape.

I really enjoyed this story. It follows an ordinary man, no different from the rest of us but perhaps a little fragile, whose life begins to spiral out of control due to outside forces and the words and actions of other people. You will find yourself cheering Chris on and wishing for the best for him. It's an interesting and thought provoking story, and raises some fascinating questions on how much control a person really does have over their lives.
This was like riding a really good roller coaster. You're filled with anticipation as you wait to get on and then excitement as the ride sets off followed by exhilaration from the twists and turns. Then, like all good rides, you want to get straight back on.
This has loads of going on but its blended together really well in an emotional story that is very much a page turner.
Heartbreaking. I appreciated the symbolism and attempt to raise awareness with regards to depression. The story is a good reminder to all, to be kind to oneself and to others.
