![]() ![]() The voice is stalkerish and creepy, and even life-threatening at times. In its own words, this voice knows Mike better than he knows himself and it thinks it has Mike’s best interests at heart. Instead of making Mike the narrator of this story, Metzger decided to give voice to his eating disorder, a constant nagging presence in his head. It’s not the plot or the characters that will make or break this book for most readers, it’s the choice of a narrator. It is such a strange little book that will probably have a niche audience, but easily found myself among its fans. In truth, if I were to make a list of the oddest books I’ve read in my life, this one would be at the very top. Very few things are more dangerous than lack of self-confidence, more frightening than a distorted self-image. A Trick of the Light is a short and terrifying read. ![]()
