Life Term

by Mark Allen

Life Term is a psychological thriller about a six-year-old boy who is sexually assaulted by a man on a riverbank. Many years later, whilst working as a psychiatric nurse, he seeks his revenge. However, despite a successful subsequent career in journalism and publishing, the shame and guilt lives with him until there is some resolution. On one level, Life Term is a page turner, which tells an absorbing story with twists and turns till the end. On another, it is about crime and punishment, revenge and redemption and about the borderline between good and evil.

[Kathy Anderson-robitaille · Rating 3 out of 5]

Although it was a good book, it was not as good as I thought it would be. The story seemed to drag in some parts. While the going back and forth, being in jail and telling his story seemed to be confusing at times. The ending did not leave me with any feelings, as it just seemed to end with no emotion for the reader.
