![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Reading from Caden’s perspective when he is having a psychotic episode is … well … psychotic. In fact, it bordered on psychedelic in some places. I kept hovering between four and four-and-a-half stars, even though I think it’s brilliant in a lot of ways. Prepare to be confounded. I had a hard time rating this book, to be honest.Normally, I start my reviews with what I loved, but I’m switching things up a little because I feel like I have to get the negative out of the way first, before I can get to what I really loved. This book sheds light on mental illness in a way I have never seen done before (at least not so thoroughly and realistically) – putting you directly into the mind of the mentally ill character and taking you on an enlightening, but also somewhat perplexing journey through his illness. Challenger Deep is the type of book that you won’t forget long after you’ve finished reading it. ![]()
