Pdf score reader My Concerns I m not usually one who recommends lenghthing a story but in this case I think a few pages of descriptions regarding characters and surroundings would have added to the experience. Scorched definition 5 rounded upI really enjoyed this one The pacing felt a bit slow at first but evened out over time I didn t know what to expect going in but became pleasantly surprised I couldn t quite tell where it was going in the beginning or what kind of story I was walking into but I felt the need to keep going I m glad I did figuring out the mystery in the latter half of the book was very exciting Traveling with the character through all phases of his life seeing what he saw really helps the reader capture the feeling of mania he was experiencing his whole life In the end a great tale about the anxiety that comes with not knowing what we re doing in life.
