Book Reviews of Billy Straight: A Novel
Book Review: Funhouse of Horror for boy
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm intoxicated with Alex Delaware, but this novel with new heroine Petra Connor left me dying for more! Billy Straight, 12, is another character I'd like to see Kellerman follow in more novels. This boy made me at times shake my head at how sad it is for a 12-year-old to be so worldly, and at other times want to wrap my arms around him for the naivite he also displayed. The boy seemed to vacillate between a young boy and a 30-year-old. His genius in hiding out only made Kellerman's genius at characters more prevalent.
The morbid description of violence gave the story more color. The reader believes she knows who the killer is to the very end -- and then is surprised by the real culprit! What a ride!
Kellerman is just a master of characterization. Calling his books "psychological thrillers" is like calling a flying saucer a quarter. Kellerman's expertise goes beyond the average psychological thriller.
