Review of 'Thinner' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

It's definitely better than some of his later writing, and although there were questions that went unanswered, and some glaringly predictable outcomes, I liked how the story progressed.

I did see the end coming a mile off though. I'm pretty sure most people will.
