Commentary During Books Mason
Some kids say Mason Avrett is slow. What they don't know is that he also has a terrifying power that he's just beginning to understand. But that's not his worst problem: Mason lives with a sadist. His older brother, Gene, doles out punishments so brutal that all Mason can do is cover his head for the beating and try to forget the horrific things he's seen.Rene Denton, one of Mason's only friends, knows that Gene is evil, but she doesn't know how evil until the terrible night she becomes a victim of Gene's cruelty. Suddenly Mason's power—raging beyond his control—becomes the only thing that might just be as frightening as Gene.
Horror, revenge, and the twisted images born of a lifetime of pain are woven into a masterful tale of suspense and redemption.

The best way to describe this is "workmanlike". It's not exactly scary and the plot is not complicated although some violence and drug references are beyond the scope of what I would want my children to read or learn.This book does have some original concepts that could

This was a great book! I felt as if I was reading a true crime book-which I love...but with a twist. Rene is a highschool girl who used to be friends with a boy named Mason when she was younger. But she grew apart from him because he is mentally challenged. She became interested in other stuff, such as boys and fashion, while he was still stuck on child games.Masons older brother, Gene is very mean to Mason, but he hides it so that others don't suspect anything. And since Mason is a little
Thomas Pendletons novel Mason is quite unlike any book Ive read in recent memory. Its a sort of strange thriller/horror hybrid populated with nasty characters without any redeeming qualities. The exceptions are Mason and Rene. Masons a high school kid with developmental delays. Mason lives with his Aunt Molly and his older brother, Gene, a sadistic psychopath who is seen as a nine-year-old trying to smother Mason in the novels opening chapter. Those first few pages set the tone for a novel which
The main character Mason has a special talent. He can draw mind pictures. For example in the story there's a guy named Lump. Lump picks on Mason and Rene. Mason draws a nasty picture in his head and shows it to Lump. But, for Rene he draws pretty pictures. Mason and Rene were very good friends when they were little. Rene eventually broke off from him. Rene got jumped by a group of people. Mason knows who did it. He draws nasty mind pictures for them. That scares them. They all get hurt. The
