Review: Twisted, sick, thoroughly disturbing and riveting!

Author Peter Hallet offers a glimpse into the sick and twisted fractured mind of David Simons. The reader is pulled in by the cross-dressing murderous rampage of David and his split-personality, Simon. David is a weak-minded man, frustrated by his wife's adultery, and Simon enters as the much needed director of David's life. Though it is clear almost from the beginning that David and Simon share the same body, they couldn't be more different. Through a creepy game of Simon Says, Simon instructs and directs David to carry out a barrage of disturbing actions, including self-mutilation and dressing up in his wife's clothing - specifically the outfit she was wearing when she had sex with David's cousin. The narration is, at times, a bit overly descriptive and tedious, and there are some instances where the characters dialogue is stilted. However, this disturbing thriller moves quickly, and can be read in one afternoon, but I don't recommend it for late night reading unless you want to have some wicked nightmares.
