This was my first Ajram book and probably wont be my last.
Vick is a depressed man who has decided to end it all by drowning himself. However, when he gets off the metro train, he finds he's not in the station he expected but a cavernous labyrinthine station with no exits.
I really loved this book and tore trough it in one day. I felt for poor Vick and his increasingly strange predicament.
The prose definitely reminded me of Eric LaRocca and Wretch that I read earlier this year. However, there is a truly original switch up in narrative style with about 40 pages to go that caught me completely by surprise and raised this book to another level completely.
The sequence in the elevator is one of the weirdest things I've read this year so far.
I recommend this unreservedly.
