Chapter Four and Five

Although this chapter was quite short, I actually enjoyed reading this example of good writing!
Matt seems to fall deeper and deeper into some kind of nightmare, whilst the strangers, whose intention still isn't quite clear, keep on questioning him.
Moreover, the reader becomes a part of Matt's nightmare, because you are able to read his thoughts, a stream of consciousness" NO I DID NOT. I DID NOT. I DID NOT".
With these sentences alone, an incredibly intense and emphatic impression is created.

This situation especially, reminded me of a fabulous film I saw on TV, quite a while ago. A middle aged man woke up one morning, surrounded by angry looking policemen, who seized him roughly and dragged him to the police department. He was told, that he had killed two women a week ago and was seen by several witnesses. The twist to the story: the man had sleepwalked and couldn't remember anything.
He was in the same situation as Matt Donaghy... they are both so similar, but still so different at the same time...
