Summary: Steve Nye leads a quiet life with his girlfriend and his parents. He doesn’t visit his parents all that often until one day his mother calls. His father attacked her and was committed to the psychiatric ward of the hospital. The father has been diagnosed with dementia and as Steve begins visiting, odd conversations and whispers from his father has Steve thinking. Steve starts questioning and looking into his family’s movement around the US as he questions his father’s delusion and madness.
My Thoughts: The book started off well setting the story. I really enjoyed the first third of the book. As the story got going, I started slowing down. It was starting to get a little tired in the middle of the book and I wasn’t entirely sure if I wanted to continue reading. It was slow at times and little predictable. As I haven’t read any of the author’s other books, I didn’t have anything to compare this book to. I continued reading and the end really was a surprise. This book was not what I expected and may be worth reading another of his books for comparison.
