This book was something else! I wasn’t sure how I feel about it as I was reading it and then at the end, I was blown away. Schroder wakes up one day in his normal seemingly normal life, in his normal neighborhood, and it seems like he’s going to go about his normal day. He gets on his bike and goes to a store. There, he kills to men. From there, he goes on a killing spree cycling to different locations.
This is not your typical book. If you ever wanted to get inside the mind of a killer on a spree, this is the kind of book you may want to read. Though, the mind may not be what you think. Written in stream of consciousness, you’ll get the description of his surroundings, and yes, the description of the kills. Some of them a little more gruesome than the others.
I did struggle a bit with the author’s choice of how it was written. I didn’t understand that choice other than to really get into Schroeder’s mindset. It felt very rumbled with the run on sentences.
What really got me, and what really made this book come together, were the diary entries at the end. It changed my whole perspective of the book, of Schroeder himself. The progression and growth of Schroeder was seen through the entries as well as his hope. That really was the perfect touch.
