Nice review! This kind of book is right up my alley and I love a good suspense and crime story. The relationship between Sean and Kayleigh sounds so sweet and inspiring. I’m looking forward to seeing how the serial killer is caught and how Sean changes his life.

I didn’t like Sean at the beginning, but I’m glad to know he became less self absorbed. Thank you for a great review.

With a musical career going nowhere and having his girlfriend as the only highlight of the day, it must have been a horrible shock to have found her dead. This is so heartbreaking. I'm glad that little Kayleigh's battle for life out some fire back into Sean's soul. Thanks for the review.

Latest Review: You, This Is Me...OVER?! by Clinton Beaudel Dooley

Post by Bigwig1973 »

This seems interesting and, ya gotta love the Beatle's reference - it reminds me of the Manson family. I'm surprised to hear that Sean develops a friendship with a young girl - based on the sample, Sean really sounds like a friggin' jerk! It also sounds suspenseful! Nice review.

OMG! Like I get it! Beatle's the band, like Paul McCartney and Wings - not Kafka or Ovid...

Lame, but it had to be done...

This short story is impressive. I have learned a lot from Layleigh, the little girl to the next door who had cancer.
The lesson here is that keeping your problems to yourself and thinking about it all the time is killing than the problem itself. The best thing to do is to go out mingle and find a meaning to life. Never give up on life. As far as there is life, there's hope.

We need to be the extrovert type not the introvert types like Sean. Giving up on life so early is a diseases that must be cured. When you love your life, your love yourself.

From a sampling, this is an interesting crime/thriller novel following a young musician that finds his girlfriend raped and murdered by a serial killer referred to as "The Beatles' Song Murderer.” On top of that, he believes he has cancer and a police officer has told him that he might be the next target for this serial killer. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

I think this story sounds like everything I love--music, crime novels, mystery, and more. However, I feel that the main protagonist might be a bit edgy. I would give it a go to see how that goes. Your review really made me want to read it and overlook on that. Thanks a lot.
