His dad keeps many secrets from him and he is constantly feeling that his dad keeps experimenting with him.

Eric’s imminent return is not what troubles Frank, for he loves his brother, but he doesn’t understand why their conversations almost always end up with Eric getting flared up over something or the other.įranks relationship with his dad is strange. His brother, Eric, has just escaped from a mental asylum and for the major part of the book, Frank is troubled by random phone calls from Eric who keeps updating him about his progress towards their house. This is the story of Frank, a 16 year old living with his Father on an island. But in its own way, this is one of the best books I have ever read. It isn’t for those who can’t stand gore and animal cruelty and the death of children. Fifty-first book reviewed as part of the 130 Challenge.
