The last few chapters have been really good. The perspective has changed from Ig to the killer. The killer, who has seemed relatively normal when we've encountered him/her, is actually very warped.

I thought Ig's devilish sermon to his snakes was corny but other than that I've been enjoying it. It seems like we're at the point where there's not much to be done in the present; I'm expecting a lot more flashbacks to what lead to the moment where the killer tries to kill Ig.

It's been getting really good lately. It seems like it should be nearing the end; I'm wondering what's going to happen to prolong Ig finally getting his revenge.

The flashback definitely picked up. The friendship between Ig and Lee are really interesting, and even though I don't usually care about romance I'm even digging the flirtation between young Ig and Merrin. I'm torn on whether I want the flashback to continue or for the story to return to the present.

Hill tends to write like his father which is both a blessing and a curse. Some of the dialogue is extremely annoying. Then Hill makes what seems like a mistake: just as things get interesting he flashes back to when the lead character was a kid. Unfortunately the flashback is not very interesting thus far.

Obviously I've read very little. The first chapter I didn't care for, but the next one has me thinking this might be a hell of a fun read. Still too early to tell but I think I like where it's going.
