unique novel

Andrew Neiderman is a unique and talented writer. After finishing "Amnesia," another totally unique and fascinating book, I read "Pin." This is the story of a schizophrenic sociopath and the sister who loves and protects him. Pin is an imaginary friend of his-- an anatomical mannequin left to him by his father, the doctor. There is black humor here. The conversations between Leon and the imaginary Pin are hilarious at times. Leon answers Pin's comment with "I was just thinking that," or some such comment. Very suspenseful story, moves swiftly along, no wasted words.

Swift and thrilling!

Generally, the cover writeup goes: Young Leon and Ursula had little except each other and pin...Mother was driven by a psychotic need to clean. Fahter was consumed by his medical practice. But he understood the sensual hunger growing inside his children's young bodies. He knew they could help each other answer, "The Need." Father had Science and Reason, and he had Pin. Pin who answered all the children's questions in a voice like father--a clever trick, a brilliant illusion.But then Mother and Father died in an accident, leaving just the three: Quiet Leon, beautiful and frightened Ursula, and wise, impacable Pin. God help anyone who threatened their perfect trinity. And God help anyone who didn't believe in Pin."

Pin is my longtime friend & lifetime companion!

Pin is the best book ever. I love Pin. Pin is such a character. I wish Pin was real so I could enjoy his company at all hours of the day & night. I would like to see Pin dance and maybe sing too. I bet he'd be real good. Pin can show you how a body works but also he can show you how a MIND might work.I feel sorry for anyone who has'nt experienced Pin's Majesty.
