The Bellwether Revivals by Benjamin Wood, 2012
Wonderful novel here that takes a look at the highly privileged and wraps it up in a chill. The main character, who is an atheist, finds himself wandering into a church after hearing the music being played therein, almost drawn to it involuntarily like a magnet. Then he gets mixed up with a girl and her brother and their whole circle of snobby douchebags. That's not true I guess, the brother is really the only one bagging any douche. He's narcissistic to the point of disorder, narcissistic personality disorder in fact. He believes his music can heal any and all ailments and employs some very insane methods to demonstrate. I'm sure it goes without saying that he takes it too far.
4.5/5
