If the synopsis to Change Places With Me didn't make you raise your eyebrows a little, I'm impressed. When I first saw this book synopsis, it automatically put this onto my TBR. The idea of waking up a different person, of suddenly wondering if you're even you any longer, has always fascinated with ...

the most interesting thing about this book was something that i immediately noticed: the point of view it's told from. sometimes i want to read a book about a boy without having to read the book from the boy's perspective. i want to see their world from the outside it, not always the inside out. thi...

I've read several books about eating disorders in 2013, but A Trick of the Light is the first one with a male main character, and also the most unique.

I was completely, excuse my French, mindfucked by this from the very beginning and sometimes I needed to take a break and process everything that I've read. It's unusual, strange, weird - however you want to call it - book and it takes some time...

Check out Scott Reads It! for reviews, giveaways, & more! A Trick Of The Light offers an unique peek into the life of Mike Welles, a male suffering from anorexia. Many people who don't know that males are just as susceptible to anorexia as females; it was genius for Metzger to show anorexia in...

2.5 or 3 starsI think what made this book so interesting is that it's told from the perspective of the illness and how it matures and takes more and more of Mike everytime. It's different and creative, making me feel like I was the illness itself. Unfortunately this novel is barely 200 pages and bec...
