Four stars for The Ignored by Bentley Little

Overall, I enjoyed The Ignored, by Bentley Little. The concept crackled in a smoldering fire originality dripping in a kind-of marshmallow stickiness. I hated Bob Jones, the protagonist, but I rooted for him in a sense of righting the rest of the world. Not only did The Ignored have a great concept, it followed through. Everything Bob Jones felt in being ignored followed through with odd, logical consequences resulting from Bob's bloody reactions to being ignored - or not. Yes, sometimes Bob's meanderings made the plot drag, but for what Little seemed to be going for the pacing was perfect. There was a psychological horror on top of the blood and gore that made this book different from a typical horror novel. I recommend The Ignored, but really any Bentley Little.
