This is going to sound crazy, this book was fun to read! You know I love my serial killers and Duncan was quite lovable. Yes, he murders and quite gruesomely but he is also a funny guy. Quite a decent chap too if you can look past the fact that he gets his jollies out of killing people. He is a middle aged man whose marriage fell apart, his life took a turn for the worse but aside from all that, he loves his children and is a fabulous daddy to them. Take about oxymoron's! You can't help cringing one moment and feeling sorry for him the next.

The writing was enjoyable. Lots of dark humor was weaved throughout the story. Duncan has a way of taking you away from the moment with his strange thought patterns. Here is just one example of a quote from Duncan while he was restraining his first victim with duct tape:

"Isn't it odd how useful duct tape is? If you are ever in doubt of what kind of tape to use, duct tape always works. I wonder who invented duct tape, and if they still receive some kind of royalty every time it is sold?"

The writing may not have been done with perfect style and grace but the story came shining through. It was a different kind of serial killer book for me. I was surprised by the ending, never suspecting where it went. It did have what I call an open ending and I am hoping that the author brings Duncan back in another book.

There are two really good things about the book. First, it is hilarious there are great pop culture references and at least one funny miss reference that I assume was on purpose. All the commentary on how people interact with the world was hilarious. Second, the book was insightful when it wasn't being horrible. Children see more than we think they do, the way that dogs love us. The best example being everyone has the capacity to do horrible things most people just have the time to talk themselves out of it. There was a study that if someone who wanted to kill themselves waited 72 hours they were a shitload less likely to do it (scientific I know). This may also relate to copycat suicides seeing that planning is a lot faster but that is another discussion all together.

But I think fantasy wise this kind of stuff holds a very strong erotic element. I think there is a level of arousal attached to the idea of murder and probably the actual act that probably isn't an easy thing to access through other channels. I'd like to say there is something wrong with this man and his graphic descriptions of rape and murder [which really aren't that graphic](so that I can fit in with the goodreadsers), but I think he might be taping into something extremely carnal about human nature and I am honestly not completely against the idea.
If you enjoy reading books that make you stare at their pages with your mouth open and whisper "oh my god... did he just... no... wait, that can't be..." then I highly recommend this book. Duncan's Diary reads as an all too uncomfortably plausible descent of the modern-day everyman into the depths of harrowing monstrosity. A trip definitely not for the squeamish or the weak. Any author would be fortunate enough to have their first novel so polished. Also, speaking as a former student of graphic design, the jacket art rules.
Other than the stray Stephen King novel, I've never been one to read "horror" books. I'm so glad I broke my mold for Duncan's Diary. More so than any other book I've read -- including The Shining -- Duncan's Diary is psychologically chilling. It's clear that the main character is a cold-blooded, calculating, yet careless, murderer, but you find yourself forgetting his psychosis every time he talks about work or his daughters. You end up questioning your own sensibilities when you remember what he's done.

The emotion in the narrative is palpable -- you know the characters' feelings. You've felt them before, so you find yourself easily drawn into the story and incapable of putting the book down. The violence described will likely offend your moral code, but it isn't grotesque to the point of being over-indulgent. If you allow yourself a moment to absorb what Duncan is actually doing you will be horrified.

The plot is straight-forward but is anything but transparent. The author weaves hints throughout the book, but the conclusion is surprising, even to the most discerning reader. In this first novel, the author presents us with the disturbing reality that a serial killer could be anyone that we know, and we'd never suspect it. But, perhaps, most frighteningly, he lays out how quickly any of us, given the right (or wrong) emotional circumstances, could find ourselves going over the edge.
The story was pretty good. But the glaring writing issues distracted me so much i could not read much at a sitting. In some places words are spelled correctly but it is a word that is misused and makes no sense. Often sentence structure is horrendous. And there are several cases of inconsistencies. Also the writer is obviously too young to even know some facts he needed for the book. It seems like the book was not edited at all , but perhaps just ran through spellchecker. The story idea is decent. I might read a follow up or not. But i am really shocked that this was published in the poorly written fashion that is was. If you have an editor , Mr. Payne, you need to fire them.
