Hi, Bill,

It’s very unusual for me to hate a story. The rest were good, though.

Well, at least you didn’t HATE Dreem Home. That’s what really matters. (Sniffle.)

I can’t remember any story that has had this much of an effect on me.

My eyebrows popped up in surprise when I read your last comment… a bit more than I was expecting! I can understand why the book had such an effect

I concluded that the boy will probably die once he finishes eating his dead father. Maybe (and this sounds bad on my part) that was for the best because his dad wrecked him forever. I don’t think, being caged up and tortured since birth, that this kid would ever have a chance at a decent life.

Was there anything that learnt or realised or concluded from reading ‘Unhealthy’?

Yes, Unhealthy was a powerful story. After I wrote my review, I sat outside and thought about how things would have been for him if the story had ended on a different note.

I wasn’t sure if I should have added Unhealthy but like you I couldn’t get it out of me head. The effect it had on me was very raw, pissed me off. It extracted an emotion from me and I think it was the author’s intention. When a story has that much power (and most don’t these days), I had to add it.

Thanks for the review.
