From getting to know Ted for yourselves, as this is a real study in psychology. But you will get far more enjoyment from reading the book. Don’t take the length of the review, the lack of clinical analysis that I might usually be guilty of, as an indicator that I didn’t enjoy it. This is a book where the less that is said in a review the better. But as strange things begin to happen on Ted’s street, a neighbour disappearing, a new neighbour arriving, a whole new wave of suspicion falls upon Ted, something not helped by his strange and evasive behaviour.Īnd that might be about all I can say about the book. And that’s about all I can say about Ted other than the fact that he lives with his cat and, on occasion, his daughter Lauren. Ted is not your average man, it is clear that there are some developmental issues and that the impact of being accused of such a heinous crime has had a hugely detrimental affect on his life. On the surface this is the story of Ted, a man who once stood accused of abducting a young girl from the local beauty spot. And in many ways I absolutely was, but I also recognised the original and quirky nature, one that belies the complex, twisted and oh-so-bloody clever nature of the story that lurks just beneath the surface if only you are brave enough to dive right in. You don’t want to have to ‘persevere’, you want to be absorbed from the off. be a very strange thing to say about a book. One that you will either take on face value, no matter how absurd persevere.
This is a book you with either get or you won’t. I’m not sure I can write a whole lot more about this book as to have the conversations I really want to have would bring us right into the heart of spoiler territory, something that really needs to be avoided when it comes to The Last House On Needless Street.
Dark, sinister, brooding, complicated, hopeful, unexpected.
