What a pretty violent plot, that however is probably very captivating to read about. I wish the picture of the cover didn’t cut off the title. Congratulations on book of the day!

Thanks for your review. This book sounds like a heavy read with horror elements, murder, rape and suicide so I think I'll give it a pass for now.

While this book has many horrific elements attached to it, I find that it presents mental health issues very well. It seems like an interesting read, so I may have to give it a try. Thanks for the review!

I am curious as to how this book is not a Christian book, but it draws on the Bible, particularly Exodus and Revelations. Thank you for your review.

This book made me feel a wide range of emotions, from horror and sadness to hope and gratitude. The author really knows how to tug at the heartstrings.

I'm going to try to read this book after reading your great review. As for your opinion of it not being descriptive enough, I was definitely surprised because as I read Chapter 1, I was horrified imagining Lily staring at all that blood. That whole nightmare she experienced almost made me not to read this book because it overwhelmed my sense of 'crazy'. However, I am intrigued about the other aspects of the book description of 'darkness and divine'.

:techie-reference: I dont believe this is a read for me. To much tragedy and trauma. Lily seemed to have been through alot being raped, hallucinations and all. The review was well read. :techie-reference:

This book captures how fast life can become crazy and everything can turn around. While reading about darkness isn't appealing to me, I like what the book presents. Congrats!

Well, the book is nicely written, but the opening section was a little bit too brutal for my taste. So, I'll be skipping this one. Nevertheless, my suspicions are that there will be a reading audience that will enjoy the book.

The BOTD is about Lily who became traumatized after witnessing the murder of her three friends. Then her brother's suicide success. She went through a lot. I hope she gets to live through those experiences. Congrats on BOTD. Great review.

"Crazy Time" by L. Andrew Cooper. An interesting book full of combination of horror, depression, and tragedy. Talks about Lily, living with the memories and trauma. Watching her three best friends get murdered on the highway and David her brother committing suicide, thinking she was the cursed. The author's writing style was great and the book full of suspense. Congrats on your #BOTD.

Crazy Time is about the depression, despair and darkness of Lily. After witnessing several murders and experiencing the suicide of her brother, she was never quite the same. Will she overcome her demons and fulfil her God-given destiny? Thanks for your review.

I’m usually a big fan of books featuring depression, horror, and tragedy, but I usually read those for a depth of detail and writing that allows for full immersion. Sadly, the review and my quick sample of a few pages of the book have confirmed that the style of writing used in this book won’t fulfil that need for me, so I will probably pass on this one.
