The Seven Days of Peter Crumb by Jonny Glynn

Rating: 4.0

I feel kind of sick and demented for actually enjoying this book. But I did. Enjoy it. Well....enjoy isn't really the word. I was more horrified while reading this. Peter Crumb, serious schizophrenic, plans on dying in seven days. He spends these last days acting out some of the most sick and twisted scenarios on complete strangers. He murders, rapes and does things I'm not even going to mention here. But this creepy little book is strangely alluring. I kept reading just to see what Peter Crumb was going to do next and how it all was going to end. If you enjoy stories like American Psycho, then you'll appreciate this debut from Jonny Glynn. If you want to get inside the head of a murdering madman on a downward spiral....this is the book for you. If not...then I recommend you stay far far away from The Seven Days of Peter Crumb.

"Gritty, dazzling, and profoundly disturbing, Jonny Glynn's The Seven Days of Peter Crumb is an extraordinary debut that portrays the deterioration of a severely splintered soul." -from synopsis
