Imaginary Friend is one of the most unexpected books that I have ever read. There are several great plot twists that I did not see coming. I kept catching myself holding my breath from the intensity. The action, especially in the last half of the story, is virtually non-stop and at a break-neck pace. I don’t think that I could handle it and I seriously can’t imagine how any visual could match or be worse than what I was creating in my mind. I read that Imaginary Friend is in development to be made into a movie or TV series. He balances intense descriptions that leave little to the imagination, with gaps that allow the reader to imagine the worst.
He’s an incredible writer.Ĭhbosky’s story assaults the reader in multiple ways. I’m quite honestly shocked by how much Chbosky’s novel affected my sleep and invaded my imagination. The horror and graphic imagery is on a level that almost made me quit the book. I love horror and I have never been legitimately freaked out until Imaginary Friend. It all begins when Christopher makes an imaginary friend that he names “The Nice Man.” On the surface, it appears to be an idyllic town, but soon Christopher is swept up in the horrors that have befallen other children of the community. Kate Reese is escaping an abusive relationship and she decides to make a fresh start for herself and her seven-year-old son, Christopher, in Mill Grove. The town has been plagued with missing children spanning over several generations, inspiring urban legends. Strange things are happening in the small, Pennsylvania town of Mill Grove. Thank you to Grand Central Publishing for providing me with a copy of Stephen Chbosky’s novel, Imaginary Friend, in exchange for an honest review.
