The amount of scannos (in this case, phrases that should be hyphenated but have been joined into a single word) in this ebook is so high that I can’t continue reading until I stop and fix them all. For shame, proofreader at “PS Publishing”.

“To spend a summer among books: it was an appealing prospect.”

Wow, funerals included professional mourners to dress well and look somber

Pretty good! The workings of the psychiatric hospital are kind of forced to serve the plot, but it rings true emotionally. You definitely feel the horror and despair as Ned is stripped of everything, even his own identity, and then you get the littlest glimmer of hope as he makes a friend.

Finally started this! So far it’s engaging. I know Ashley is the bad guy, yet I can’t help but like him.

And then this happened. And then this happened. Blah blah blah.

In general I like this, but it’s a long book and too much time is taken up describing how a straight white man is falling in love with pre-Civil-Rights-era Texas.

The real truth behind the horror story is that when wealthy men founded towns in the 1800s, they really did have a distorting effect that was usually not in the public interest. It’s not like they made deals with supernatural evil forces, literally sacrificing citizens to expand their power. They just relied on forces of economics and politics, which can also ruin the lives of hapless citizens.

Library research! That’s catnip to me. I love how Duane is the one who has a clue what’s going on, and that it’s thanks to a library.
