5.0

For such a short book, this one packed a lot in. It is all about choices we make and the influences that lead us to make those choices and what we choose to let influence. The main character struggles a lot with his life and what he allows to let happen based on a singular experience. He gains control and loses it back and forth, but it always comes back to a pivotal moment in the story. It also has hints of trying to find meaning in one's life which is really quite interesting in a horror novel. Great job Aron!
