Full disclosure: Rob Thurman is my client. So yeah, I'm one of her biggest cheerleaders, but not because she's a client. I fell in love with her twisted and darkly beautiful imagination before we partnered up, so... these opinions are truly objective.
As a rule, I don't review client books - I only give honest star-ratings. But this book is SO special, I had to SAY some things about it, if only to get it out of my system. ;)
1. Imagine PARANORMAL ACTIVITY and INSIDIOUS mixed with the TV shows MEDIUM and GHOSTHUNTERS. Yeah, it's THAT amazing.
2. It's more mystery than horror, but the horror elements are very surreal, yet real at the same time. And the way our main hero describes being in the mind of a sociopath is just...remarkable. Chilling, to say the least. There are MANY steal-your-breath-away moments in this book.
3. It's like going on the most twisted haunted history tour EVER - with a gorgeous (male) psychic. YUM.
4. LOTS of twists. One, I saw coming. The others, I did not.
5. There's all the snark and banter and family elements in here that everyone's grown to love about Thurman's writing.
6. ALL SEEING EYE has truly been haunting me... I can't stop thinking about this book. And the reason why? Because all in all, it gave me HOPE. So much hope, I didn't see it coming. And after what happened exactly a week ago in Colorado... well... I needed that.
So there is my take on ALL SEEING EYE. I hope the world gives this book a try. It's right up there with the best Stephen King novels...and Rob Thurman deserves that level of acclaim and success.
