the chalk man is one of those books that are great to nake you shocked by how dark they are, but, it's definetely not an actually good book. some points of the story, such as
Spoilereddies' rape scene, the final scene in the asylum and all of the gore based scenes
were not really scary, just uncomfotable ro read. the main plot is overall very confusing and not very enjoyable. there are some points that are actually interesting, but most of the books feels like reading a stephen king book with all of the pages scrambled. overall, it's confusing, but, if you like thrillers, you might want to give it a try, it can be enjoyable when you like violent and shocking scenes.
