The Stone Man - A Science Fiction Horror Novel (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
Found this title through the Amazon Lending Library. The premise was interesting, so I gave it a shot. Well written and suspenseful, it hooked me in from the very beginning. I like how the author switches narratives throughout the story, going from first person accounts of what happened to third person towards the end. It had me guessing how it would turn out, and I admit the solution wasn't what I was expecting, which helped make me enjoy this book A LOT! 3.5 starsAt times the story dragged and I found myself skimming a few pages here and there. It just needed a bit of editing/tightening up. I liked that the characters were realistically flawed but ended up not really liking the main character much so I didn't become emotionally invested in his fate. My curiosity, however, was in high gear. When it works, it works very well. Great building of tension and an interesting concept. I noticed some readers didn't care for the ending as they felt too much was left open and unanswered but I personally really like an ending that lets you decide for yourself what might happen in the future.
