If you want to be remembered long after you are gone, WRITE books worth READING or DO things worth WRITING about...

You forgot to italicize the title of the book and make your rating bold. These must have affected your score negatively.
Aaaa! I did bold and italic the main points. Thank you for commenting!

Hm, what an enjoyable review! The fact that the plot is descriptive, and there is humour attached to it has piqued my interest.

Entertaining review as usual! I can't believe someone has suffered this fate in real life - Gruesome! Save for the gore, I'm liking the plot. Maybe if it is made into a movie, I could be able to watch by closing my eyes during gory scenes. Great review!

This story sounds a bit too scary for me to read. Embalming someone who is alive? You mentioned also that the descriptive scenes that focused on the sociopath-in-action were painful to read.

I really like your creative review! But I think this book is a bit too gruesome for me so I might have to give it a miss..

OMG! A book about a psychopath burning women alive is terrifying. This book is really not for the faint-hearted. I'm not a faint-hearted, but I chose not to read this book or else, I might think of burning men alive. 😂

Thanks for the great review!

Great review! I too read and reviewed this book. The story was engaging indeed and the climax was phenomenal but the lack of realism in this story put me off.

It wasn't realistic? Wow, I didn't see it like that. Thank you for commenting!

Looks like Jobz is lucky to have his boring life change to one full of mystery overnight. The fact that the embalmer kills women for his own satisfaction is very disturbing.
