The power emotions can have on how we perceive reality can be frightening sometimes. When books are able to not only convey what is happening but get across the raw emotion too, that always makes for an incredible book.

I couldn't have said it better.

I'm not a huge fan of his, but you may enjoy The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, by Stephen King. Not a quote from the book, but after I read it I thought "the world has teeth, and it wants to eat you". It's a very gripping story.

King has always been very hit and miss for me but I'll check it out

Yeah, same here. I haven't really read much of his stuff, just that one and Dreamweaver.
