A Painter Behind the Curtain
Honestly, I don’t know how to describe this. It’s amazing. So amazingly good. It was painful, beautiful and it really makes you wonder. The main character, Ian, looks at the world so innocently and peacefully that it almost seems as if he can’t see the bad in it. Raymond, on the other hand, couldn’t see anything in the world but hatred, betrayal and many other horrible things. Such polar opposites and yet they attracted each other. I felt so immersed in the story and I choked up a few times honestly. I almost cried too. I would love to reread this sometime soon. I don’t even know how else to describe it. Truly, it’s an amazing story and it shows how much a person’s emotions can affect them. Raymond lost himself falling in love with Ian. He was pitiful, to say the least. He only had his eyes on revenge and nothing else but because that’s all he’s been striving for, he couldn’t even tell that he had loved Ian until Ian was kidnapped. Ian was also pitiful. So blinded by love that although he could see all Raymond’s faults and wrongdoings, he still decided to stay with him. Only when he had escaped from being kidnapped did he realise what a horrible life he had endured for the sake of love. I had doubts on whether the story would end with a happy ending or not but I’m glad that it turned out the way it did. The fact that Raymond and Ian worry about things so trivial means that they finally can live an ordinary life. Sure, they will have problems from time to time but that just shows that they truly are together. I’m happy. I don’t regret reading this at all. I would stay up at 2:30am again just to read this. I love it. It’s a masterpiece. Truly. I’m happy
