Review: Surprising and Charming ... in Madness
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 06 2, 2012
I downloaded this with a skeptical heart; it was my first read of this author, and I have my personal policy of reviewing only books I liked, so this means from 3 to 5 stars. Lately, I had the displeasure of coming in possession of numerous 'Indie books' who were well below my standards. Mind you, I don't care about typos or blatant grammatical errors (I've found them even in traditional publishing) but I do care for story and internal consistency.I found all of this in Mr. Cusie's work. Apartment 23A is a complex story and it's easy to get confused in it, because that's even the author's goal from start. It is a slow descent to madness, punctuated by moments of bright illumination; it is a modern days gospel of what it means to be sane ... or insane.Congrats, Mr. Cusie, you embraced a difficult path and showed us your navigation skills.Five deserved stars.
