Intriguing, quick read. The writer captured my attention quickly and held it through out the book. It was a strange story, and a few parts I could guess were happening, but there were many surprises as well.

What an interesting novel for a than new author. The Therapy has just been translated from German into English so I can only talk from the German writing style point of view which was short and to the point. Fitzek didn't use much words on fuss but also managed to keep me reading the book in a very short amount of time.
The reader is in for some surprises here. Even if you think you already figured everything out, I'm certain there are things you will miss and with the book finished you're going to ask yourself how you could have possibly missed that.
Enjoy !
