Rock Paper Scissors | Book Review

I didn’t like it. Simply put! I guess this might be an unpopular opinion, but so be it. I really even don’t wanna discuss much about this book – sends me eerie vibes I am not comfortable with.

I feel the problem I have with the book is that it is too dark & disturbing. I found the character of Henry – the horror novelist – psychic to put it subtly, or mad if I put it actually how I feel. The things he does, or the things his daughter Robin does is totally weird and crazy – they are people out of their minds. Carving out animal shapes with bulging eyes, creating ghostly atmosphere, a crypt full of wine, a screenwriter who cannot see the difference between faces. I really feel sick even recalling all that this book throws at you.

If there is only one aspect of this book that I can say was ok, it was it’s genuine unexpected twist – the revelation of which was very unusual and seamless. All the while the letters from the wife to the husband on their anniversary, you never once guess it is Robin and not Amelia writing those.

But other than this one thing (see spoiler above), I find such thoughts and imagination quite weird. I wouldn’t be comfortable living or sitting next to a person I know has such wild & scary imagination – disgusting if I may use the word, harsh albeit. I really feel weary that reading such stuff hopefully doesn’t corrupt my mind. And I truly feel the need to sanitize my mind at this moment and am finding myself a good, light hearted, warm and uplifting read to do the same. Wish I hadn’t read this.
