Format: Paperback
If you didn't know better, you would think this book were written by Chuck Palahniuk, author of Fight Club, Choke & Rant. It is very in your face, with a lot of gross out scenes and twisted dark humor. If you like the above books, this is right up your alley.

Peter Crumb, a seemingly moral British man, has a voice in his head that tells him to engage in insanely immorale acts. Crumb's split personality is with him 24/7 and at first, they constantly argue over everything.

The voice refered to as "him" is highly disturbed and he is right right there with Peter in his head throughout the story. The internal conflicts almost always end in the killer getting his way. Bloody murders and rapes are "his" favorite past-times and "he" becomes a terrible influence on Crumb.

The reason for the title is that this split personality plans on killing its host body at the end of seven days.

Glynn's storytelling is superb. My only real critiques fall in super long paragraphing in places and in that the end is a little abrupt. Oterwise, this is a great quick read for people who like horrific content with a touch of gross-out humor.

They don't do crazy like they did in the good old days. Chalk it up to personal preference, if you must; but insanity in the modern age isn't really all that far from normal-- I might even go so far as to say it IS normal-- so where's the fun in that? Transgressing in a world inured to transgressions, where anything goes-- how boring! The effect works much better when there's actually a marked difference between what the supposed transgressor is expressing and the mores of society at large. High-toned morality would have been more of a shock to encounter in a contemporary book than the psychopathy demonstrated by Peter Crumb. Rarer, too.

Oh, I suppose the book is okay. And the phrase "the guilty man that God forgot" does have a nice ring to it.

The erosion of the mind into a moralless heap. You have to wonder what in Johnny Glynn's youth brought out these disturbing thoughts. Vivid detail draws a type of panic not just for the victims but for our protagonist(s) as well, because Peter Crumb is more than just one psyche, he is chaos.

When I read the synopsis for this novel, I immediately thought of American Psycho. Peter Crumb is an interesting character with similar views and violent urges to American Psycho's Patrick Bateman. He kills without remorse and is racist, sexist and materialistic.

The story follows him in a first person account of a week of madness, during which he kills a prostitute, a young store clerk and his neighbours, among others.

I would recommend this book to anyone with a strong stomach. If you could handle Bret Eason Ellis' American Psycho, this will only give you a bit of a jolt. A quick, fun disturbing read.

reads as if humbert humbert (of lolita) narrated a clockwork orange, with a little bit of fight club thrown in.
if want a graphic and disturbing novel that doubles as a beach read this wouldnt be a bad choice.

id suggest reading any of the books mentioned above instead though.
