"Persona" is the kind of story that you won't see very often. I just finished reading it and I have to say that it sent shivers down my back the whole time I was reading it. What really makes this story different is that it is character driven. Ryan, who is having an identity crisis, develops different identities or personas to accomplish is disturbing and questionable goals. I really found this to be an enjoyable read because the different character interactions contributed to make the story engaging and interesting.Also, the sex scenes and offensive language caught me off guard, but they did set the tone for the relationship between certain characters and the rest of the book. The book is also filled with subtle dark humor and action scenes that are written surprisingly well.Overall, Persona is a novel about the disturbing aspects of a person slowly losing their mind. I found It to be quite entertaining. Worthy of 5 stars in my opinion.
