A good read though a sad one. Loved the idea of confessions being his reason behind each painting!

Had the chance to be a really atmospheric horror but ended up being a confusing non-genre. I enjoyed parts of it but from about half way onwards it was just strange and confusing! Unsure why I'd heard so many good things to be honest!

A well written yet sad tale of Britney's life so far. I really hope she can find ways to recover from her trauma so far. It feels like she's been held hostage for the last 15/20 years if not by her Dad then by the paparazzi.

A surprisingly good read! Kept me interested throughout and the ending wasn't obvious. It was a bit of a sad ending, but a good twist.

I found this to be a really difficult read to continue. I went through waves with it- when he was writing about his sister and living his pretend life I found that interesting. Then the big chunk in the middle where he was writing about Iraq and hiding I found really boring. My favourite bits were definately the references to The Shining and the overlook hotel- nicely done.
