Fascinating,hilarious,disturbing,exciting and surprising as hell. I couldn't put the book downIngenious and funny...A magnificent millennial nightmareWow. Seriously hard to put down...Chilling and utterly immersiveThis is The Omen for the social media ageWittier than the lovechild of Stephen Fry and Charlie Brooker; scarier than watching The Exorcist in an abandoned asylum. Fast,furious,original and most importantly,terrifyingWe fell hard for Jason Arnopp's whip-smart and impulsive thriller...meet your new favourite bookSuper spooky and addictively writtenAn absolutely great read. It scared the bejeezus out of me!Cracking fun and genuinely creepyTremendous...a cracking readIf you enjoy smart supernatural thrillers then read this book...I smashed through it in a couple of daysThis is one of those books where I'm sad when I'm not reading it. It manages the rare feat of being both horrific and hilarious,which makes me insanely jealous of Arnopp and has me considering how to kill him and consume his mighty powerI always suspected Jason Arnopp was a genius,and now,having read his first novel,I know I was right. Jack Sparks is an extraordinary literary creation,clever and awful,loveable and cruel and his story is so terrifying and believable that I could barely bring myself to turn off my lights at bedtime(A) shriekingly good paranormal thriller...Superb pacing,tightrope-taut suspense building and tight plottingQuite brilliant. An assured,ultra-modern occult story with real depth of character,a compelling and satisfyingly twisted narrative and a streak of genuine malevolenceThe Last Days of Jack Sparks is whip-smart and perhaps,the greatest indictment of social media or endorsement of it...It is that kind of wonderful book that plays with your perception and is the very last word in gonzo journalism. If Hunter S. Thompson decided to write a novel channelling Aleister Crowley and with the wit of Augustus Burroughs,you would have the essence of this terrific novelFunny,creepy,and totally nuts. I had a blast reading itIt grabbed me relentlessly and made me reprioritize sleep...The conclusion is shocking,heartbreaking and absolutely fabulous. I really just loved this one.Brilliantly unnerving. I couldn't put it downArnopp's snappy prose and bizarre plot carry the day. An uneasy suspense shrouds the pages like a murky London fog. Devour it in one sittingAs funny as it is frighteningOriginal,clever,scary and funny...It kept me gripped and guessing from page oneA breath of fresh air,vivid and essential
