THE CHALK MAN is a good book. But it has been overly praised. You will enjoy the book more if you don't let all of the five-star reviews set your expectations too high.

Probably it's the end of THE CHALK MAN that grabs so many great review13ts. Although the reader knows already that a certain character is flawed, the ending italicizes and boldfaces "flawed."

I thought this end was funny, though. I know the author did not intend this reaction. But see if you don't agree with me.

More of a 3.5
I really like this book, despite the mixed reviews. It is not overly long, so an easy read. Thought the storyline was unique, and the ending definitely a surprise. The character of Eddie is surprising throughout. Definitely a good read.
