All the Colors of the Dark by Chris Whitaker
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

"paint it for me." wow has chris whitaker done so! it took me a little bit to get into it at the get-go but once i was in i was IN. whitaker has a marvelous way of telling you something without explicitly doing so, which i find especially admirable for a serial killer thriller. he trusts his readers to put it together and not explained to. what truly hooked me was the love stories that were romantic, unrequited, and familial. i enjoyed the cadence of short chapters that pushed me to read more and more until i slowed down knowing the conclusion was nearing an end. i haven't openly sighed and awwwed reading a book in a long time. i'm often averse to "read with jenna" picks but this one was worth it.

i'm waiting for the film adaptation that won't measure up to this prose, so do yourself a favor and read this.
