so, break it down for us.

well, you never want to hear someone tell you the plot of the book they read to you( b/c I don't want to give the details that make the book awesome). So here is what the back says:

Joseph Vaughan's life has been dogged by tragedy. Growing up in the 1940s, he was at the centre of series of killings of young girls in his small rural community. The girls were taken, assaulted and left horribly mutilated. Barely a teenager himself, Joseph becomes determined to try to protect his community and classmates from the predations of the killer.

But despite banding together with his friends as 'Guardians', he was powerless to prevent more murders - and no one was ever caught. Only after a full ten years did the nightmare end when the one of his neighbours is found hanging from a rope - with articles from the dead girls around him. Thankfully though, the killings finally ceased.

Ill-fortune was not yet done with Joseph though and in desperation he leaves the town of his birth to forge a new life in New York. But the past won't leave him alone - for it seems that the real murderer still lives and is killing again. And the secret of his identity lies in Joseph's own history?



I'm telling you, this story is better than No Country For Old Men and There Will Be Blood which were two critically acclaimed movies last year. If they do a good job making this film (which there aren't even plans yet b/c the book just came out not too long ago) this film could be huge.

Is it something stupid like one of his fellow "guardians" or the even more cliched he is the killer?

just read it, it's not one of those obvious stories you first think of when you read the back of it

On a completely unrelated note, yay to the fact that Chuck Palahniuk's new book comes out next week!!

This will make an excellent movie as well:

But, anyway, I'll add the book you suggested to my list.

I read a review that said it was Steinbeckesque.

I'm intrigued.

[O-Factor]

Hmm, sounds good.

i'm never eager to have books I like hollywood-ized.

that's why I read it first so when they make the movie I can be the judge
