Okee dokee. I feel like this keeps happening to me. I thought this was the last book in the series, so I just kept reading from book one to book seven. I got to the end and was like “um, what?”. There are apparently at LEAST two books left. That is not really a problem, but I wouldn’t have just kept mowing through the series if I knew it wasn’t finished! Anyway, this book is called Family. Logically, I thought we’d learn more about Alice’s […]
And you’ve just had some kind of mushroom, and your mind is moving low…Go ask Alice, I think she’ll know
Ok so this is allegedly the penultimate book in the Insanity series. I just downloaded book seven, because book six leaves you hanging a little bit. According to the author, it’s the only book without a prologue (or two). The premise of this book is basically a worldwide chess game, and eventually a bunch of other chess games and chess related shenanigans. The Chessmaster challenges the leaders of the world to chess matches. It’s allegedly for charity or something? He tricks them though, because he […]
And call Alice, when she was just small…when the men on the chessboard get up and tell you where to go
I feel like I start every Insanity book with “I have no idea what’s happening”, or something along those lines. It’s just true for every one of them. Alice travels backwards and forwards in time. She’s trying to prevent the main thing that started all of this madness – the bus accident. The beginning of book 1 talks about Alice going to the Radcliffe Asylum because she crashed a bus and killed all of her classmates (including her boyfriend). Alice travels forward in time to […]
Tell ’em a hookah-smoking caterpillar has given you the call
Ok so this is book 4, and I’m still super confused. Alice and the Pillar are working together again to save the world. But the Pillar (the hookah smoking caterpillar / insane serial killer) has ulterior motives. I really have no idea what they are. Even when it seems like he’s screwing over Alice, he’s usually saving her. He’s not a good guy, but he doesn’t really seem to be a bad guy either? I don’t know. Anyway, there’s a plague sweeping the world. Everyone […]
