In fact, it and Lullaby are my two least favorite of his. However, if you do read more, be warned: he has a very dark, twisted sense of humor (which I happen to love) and every book has some sort of "gimmick" like the "for the record" thing. He also wrote "Haunted," which has another intriguing premise: "a novel made up of 23 stories told by people who have answered an ad for a writer’s retreat and unwittingly joined a “Survivor”-like scenario where the host withholds heat, power and food. As the storytellers grow more desperate, their tales become more extreme, and they ruthlessly plot to make themselves the hero of the reality show that will surely be made from their plight."
