The Nightwalker

I've always wanted to update but somehow I did not. So now I'm updating with a book review.

I saw this book at Book Xccess in Gurney Paragon and despite the fact I swore that I would stop buying books as I don't read as much anymore and I've plenty of surplus of books I could not possibly devour in the next few months, I bought it anyway because, one, I love horror books and they are hard to come by, and two, the recap was very attractive.

It did not disappoint. The book did not waste much time getting to the point, but the suspense is heavy and the twist is hard to digest sometimes. This is a psychological thriller book, in contrast to what I expected it to be, but nonetheless it remains a good read because the plot really is great despite the messy timeline switches. His wife disappeared one night with significant injuries and he thought his sleepwalking diseases came back. He sought the help of the doctor who treated him when he unbearably suffered it while he was little but at this time his doctor did not seem convince it recurred and so he had to figure things out by his own. But as the story progresses, things really do not appear to be as simple as it seems.

I would rate this book 4.5/5, and it deserves this high star because not many books attracted me enough to finish them in a matter of days. I usually finish reading a fiction over two weeks or more, because I'm busy with work and leisure time is too precious to be entirely spent on just reading when there are also so many activities out there to be indulged in. But this is one book that succeeded, along with all Chris Carter's books which remain among the best books I've ever read in my life.
