Description Supposing Books Normal (Normal #1)
"The truth is I hurt people. It's what I do. It's all I do. It's all I've ever done."He lives on your street, in a nice house with a tidy garden.
He shops at your local supermarket. He drives beside you on the highway, waving to let you into the lane ahead of him.
He also has an elaborate cage in a secret basement under his garage.
The food he's carefully shopping for is to feed a young woman he's holding there against her will—one in a string of many, unaware of the fate that awaits her.
This is how it's been for a long time. It's normal…and it works. Perfectly.
But this time it's different…

I have no idea what I just read.The plot, and believe me I'm being kind in calling it that, was so fragmented I found myself cursing at every other page, desperately trying to understand..."What the hell is going on?""Shit. What is happening right now?"Oh come on, just write ONE legible paragraph, damn it!"And on, and on...I don't know how to accurately describe the struggle of writing this review when I can't condense all the hate into a few paragraphs.There may be an interesting story here,I'm a big fan of leaving some things to the imagination, but I do not want to have to do all the work. I can fill in the blanks with the best of 'em, but there needs to be a point of reference with which to begin. This was like a cryptogram without a key. It was all over the place, with no clue as to the whys and the wherefores. Bumping it up to two stars for the dark humor which kept me reading.
"Ive got problems." Wow . . . just wow! Im so glad that I stumbled across this book. From the very first page, it was dark and mesmerizing with a touch of comedic genius. The entire story is told from the serial killer's POV and it makes for a truly great story. The author never gives a description of what the killer looks like or even his name. Its left entirely up to the reader to conjure up the identity of this guy. A guy that preys on unsuspecting women and could be out walking among us
OMG. I have "NEEDED" to read this book from the second I saw it on Netgalley and went to incredible lengths including stalking and begging to finally receiving a copy from the publishers last week. This did not disappoint.. it was deliciously dark and sick and twisted and funny and wonderful and disgusting and just perfect in everyway... except the ending....! Noooooooo... I want more..... I need more... don't leave me like that.I will be following Graeme very carefully (be afraid Mr Cameron)
Normal by Graeme Cameron is told in the first person, by an unnamed man who lives in a lovely English farmhouse with a separate garage, drives a white Transit van, and enjoys cooking. The novel opens as our mystery man is cleaning up after the murder and dismemberment of his latest victim, and is interrupted by an unsuspecting young woman whom he abducts. With Erica safely caged in his purpose built, underground games room our protagonist goes grocery shopping. "I know exactly when it all
This is one exceptional novel. If you don't read this then you are so not in the cool gang. If you read crime novels a lot like me, or even if you don't, start now, with this one. Honestly, go do it. I freaking loved this book for a million reasons, it messed with my head, blending slight humour through a book about a serial killer is not an easy task, but it was pulled off with finesse. Bravo to Graeme Cameron.I loved being in the head of this serial killer.Im not NORMAL.He is the man who lives
