Review: Too Dark!!

I have read no other books by this author, so had no preconceived notions about what the book would be like. It was a (fictional) study in multiple personalities, told from Richard's point of view. The other "people" who inhabited Richard's mind did insert their viewpoints. I realize there are seriously ill people who have issues like the ones presented by Richard. That said, I had a hard time sticking with this story and learning how a serial killer "rationalizes" things in his/her mind. There was graphic sex and subtle violence. I personally do not like books of this nature. Nicholson does have a very good way with words but that doesn't make up for the awful parts of poor Richard's life.
