The Gnome King reviewed Symbiosis by Guy Portman
Review of 'Symbiosis' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
What's the creepiest thing in a horror movie? Kids that's what! This book has girls, so doubly creepy! They are twins with a special connection so super creepy all round.
The writing is weird, not sure if it is first/second or third person, it's like a documentary and the narrator is telling you what you are looking at, what is being thought and what has happened. For me this style made it very easy to settle down and get in to.
Guy has done a lot of drugs... I mean research into drugs, the twins get put onto a variety of meds and the book describes well the effects they have on them including side effects.
The story is strong, moves along at a steady pace with an interesting conclusion, this reader is still left wondering though, was Dr. Singh's diagnosis correct?
One thing this book needs is a glossary …

One thing this book needs is a glossary at the end, the twins have their own language which they talk in at lengths sometimes and I found it tough at times to figure out what was going on (especially in the final scene), a glossary would have made translating a bit more fun.
This is definitely Guy's strongest book to date, it really deserves to make a breakthrough and get read by millions, looking forward to what he writes next.
