***3.5 Stars***Twitch started out wonderfully. The owner of the carnival McB showed his caring nature in the way he treats his "family" and especially in his treatment of Twitch. The interaction between him and Twitch was so touching. The story continued introducing us to various carnival goers, their treatment of the `freaks' and subsequently the end result of their inhuman treatment. I truly enjoyed and was very curious as to the origins of Twitch's abilities. However, as the story progressed it plateaued for me and then all of a sudden I'm getting the backstory of Twitch, which I wanted to know, but it's placement in the story just seemed off to me.I definitely see great potential in Thomas Scopel, his writing abilities and it's not at all that I did not enjoy Twitch. The characters were well thought out and described and the carnival setting was very detailed, so much so that I was craving an Elephant Ear at one point while reading. For me, I think it was the abruptness of the back story of Twitch that did not sit right with me. However, I am not at all saying don't purchase, Twitch is well worth a read especially if you enjoy some gruesomely awesome carnival deaths!
