Commentary Conducive To Books Normal (Normal #1)
"The truth is I hurt people. It's what I do. It's all I do. It's all I've ever done."He lives on your street, in a nice house with a tidy garden.
He shops at your local supermarket. He drives beside you on the highway, waving to let you into the lane ahead of him.
He also has an elaborate cage in a secret basement under his garage.
The food he's carefully shopping for is to feed a young woman he's holding there against her will—one in a string of many, unaware of the fate that awaits her.
This is how it's been for a long time. It's normal…and it works. Perfectly.
But this time it's different…

A book written from the POV of a serial killer....woo hoo,I'm on board.As soon as "Normal" was delivered to my kindle,I hunkered down on the sofa and dug in.After a few disappointing hours,my take on the book was as follows, a man with a van, a home in a remote location, mad knife skills and cage in a secret basement. YAWN. Nothing original,fresh or mind blowing.The serial killer,who remains nameless throughout the book, is basically your run of the mill " Mommy's-little-basement-dwelling-red
Normal - Graeme Cameron Beauty, Books and Babble★★★★✩In Normal, we follow the day to day life of a man who is seemingly ordinary to outsiders, yet following the story through his own eyes, we see how far from normal he really is. This man, you see, is a serial killer, and a good one at that. "The truth is I hurt people. It's what I do. It's all I do. It's all I've ever done. I'm not... normal."I'm going to tread lightly around explaining the outline of this book, as I really dont want to spoil
This is one exceptional novel. If you don't read this then you are so not in the cool gang. If you read crime novels a lot like me, or even if you don't, start now, with this one. Honestly, go do it. I freaking loved this book for a million reasons, it messed with my head, blending slight humour through a book about a serial killer is not an easy task, but it was pulled off with finesse. Bravo to Graeme Cameron.I loved being in the head of this serial killer.Im not NORMAL.He is the man who lives
I have no idea what I just read.The plot, and believe me I'm being kind in calling it that, was so fragmented I found myself cursing at every other page, desperately trying to understand..."What the hell is going on?""Shit. What is happening right now?"Oh come on, just write ONE legible paragraph, damn it!"And on, and on...I don't know how to accurately describe the struggle of writing this review when I can't condense all the hate into a few paragraphs.There may be an interesting story here,
