Dark Recollections by Chris Philbrook

Journal-entry type books are always iffy. Sometimes they work, other times they fail. Miserably. This one scored big for me. It helps that Adrian is a likeable guy. I WANTED him to succeed.
One technique that really helped is that there are two chapters, actually short stories, of people that Adrian has mentioned crossing paths with in his Journal. These short stories give us an outside perspective of Adrian. I found it very effective in making me like Adrian, and it helped to explain why some other situations played out the way they did. I found their vision of Adrian was a bit different than how I had pictured him in my mind. In a good way.
