The Whisperers
“Once again, Angel and Louis stayed with me all the way there, but we reached Jandreau’s place without incident. It didn’t look like much from the outside: single-story, paintwork that flaked like bad skin, a lawn that was trying its best to pretend that it wouldn’t soon be overrun by weeds. The best that could be said about the exterior was that it didn’t raise any expectations that the interior of the house couldn’t live up to. Jandreau answered the door in his wheelchair. He was dressed in gr...ay sweat pants pinned at the thighs and a matching t-shirt, both of which were stained. He was building up a gut that the shirt didn’t even attempt to conceal. His hair was shaved close to his skull, but he was growing a rough beard. The house smelled stale: in the kitchen behind him, I could see dishes piled up in the sink, and pizza boxes lying on the floor by the trash can.
‘Help you?’ he said.
I showed him my ID. He took it from me and held it on his lap, staring at it the way someone might examine the photograph of a missing child that had been presented to him by the cops, as though by gazing at it for long enough he might remember where he’d seen the kid.MoreLess

I enjoyed this book. It was easily read, entertaining, easy to follow. I had read his first book, Every Dead Thing, a year or two ago & enjoyed it. I randomly grabbed this one, rather than reading his next book (Dark Hollow). I had no problem following the storyline & figuring out the relationship of continuing characters.I don't consciously pick up on symbolism, so I can't discuss that. (Symbolism was an area that my grades suffered in English class.) I like to read for entertainment & to inadvertently learn something now & then, and that's what I base my likes/dislikes on!
If you read it, hope you enjoy it as well!
