Freakishly intriguing is how I would describe this book. I absolutely loved that this book was narrated by the mentally deranged Quentin P. Throughout the book we followed in detail Q_P's thoughts and plans as he reminisces about the trial where he was convicted of molestation of a minor, as he finds his next victim and so on. This short novel wasn't a smooth read for me and was actually very confusing because Quentin jumps around to different events in his past that have led him to where he is. Quentin became a caretaker as a result of his parents. Interestingly and ironically his father, is a respected university professor. No one would think that his son could be as deranged and sick as Q_P is. At least not myself. He briefly considers taking a few of the students living there, but realises that it would be way too obvious; it would get him caught in a second. This somewhat demonstrates that he is smart and prudent. His poor grandmother dotes on him, giving him odd jobs around her house and paying him too well for them. Yet again he demonstrates some level of IQ by doing so because his grandmother becomes a sort of a witness. Unfortunately, that trust will not help Quentin change as she hopes; instead it will help him to continue with his sick "hobbies". His fascination and killing pattern is unusual where he wants to make zombies out of his victims so that they won't flee from him, screaming, and get him caught, like the first boy did.Also this chilling novel has way too many "&" which were interrupting my flow of lecture. Overall a good book.
