### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Confusing
  

*by C***Y on Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2019*

The story of Victor Forde, a man in his early 50’s who finds himself divorced and lonely, relocated to a small apartment.  Living a solitary life.Victor attempts to become a regular at one of the local pubs – he ingratiates himself with a group of similar aged men.  Fitzpatrick is also someone he meets at the pub who is convinced that he & Victor went to school with each other 40 years before, at an abusive Christian Brothers institution. Victor struggles to remember this person., and doesn’t like him very much.Victor’s  life is told largely in recollection, and he was pretty much a procrastinator, a loser, who never accomplished anything.  He was basically all talk and no action.Without revealing spoilers, I still don’t understand the conclusion of this story at all.  It left me deeply confused.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A compelling journey
  

*by R***R on Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2017*

Seldom do I finish a book in just two sittings but this novel’s ability to engage my interest and, quite honestly, my curiosity compelled me to keep reading. The quality of the writing is realistic but at the same time  evokes something not quite normal...something oddly provocative . I was eagerly  waiting for something to make clear what was actually happening. In it’s final moments it does exactly that. Fascinating.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A study in dissociative identity disorder.
  

*by D***C on Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2017*

If you do not know what messer, coochie, snib or jacks mean, get the app Urban Dictionary before you read this book.  Without it you will be lost quickly.  But, do read this book.  It is a beautifully well done study into a person suffering from trauma that led to a DID Disorder.  As a Counseling Psychologist who has treated patients such as the lead character, I stand amazed at how the author captured the tragedy of having this condition.  Hats off to him.
