Book Review! Shut-In by #Author Lori Lesko
Shut-In by
Lori Lesko is a great book. Omg, the story kept me guessing and on my toes
throughout the whole thing. The tale sort of reminds me of The Twilight Zone. It’s brilliant in the sense that you have no
idea what’s really going on.
Daisy is the main character in this inventive story. I love
her relationship with her older brother Chuck. They’re close. Daisy has several
debilitating illnesses that hinder her from leading a normal life. She’s wheelchair
bound and refuses to leave her small apartment due to her health problems.
Chuck has a well-paying job and helps take care of Daisy. He buys her groceries
and checks in on her.
Daisy spends her days staring out her window, watching each
one of her neighbors come and go. It’s a form of entertainment for her where
she brands them with judgments devised by her lonely and bitter soul. Then one
day, a new gal (Shelly) moves into one of the apartments and introduces herself
to Daisy. She’s pushy and . . . mysterious. Daisy quickly gets annoyed with
Shelly’s overbearing behavior and lets her know about it. But there’s something
strange about Shelly which intrigues Daisy. When Shelly gives Daisy a computer
to replace the old clunker she has, Daisy is drawn to this fancy computer when
the keys light up on their own. She soon discovers something magical about this
device and from there the story deepens, and I’m taken down a rabbit hole that
twists and turns and keeps me guessing the whole way through.
I’m not going to say what else happens to prevent myself
from giving away spoilers, but when I reached the end of this story, I cried.
Hell, if I even think about it, I get emotional. LOL. Only a wonderful,
creative mind can spin a tale such as this one, and Lori Lesko is one of them.
I think everyone should read Shut-In because of the messages in this book are
important to receive.
