Great book. Littorno's writing is a lot like early Stephen King - little twists you didn't see coming. Great Read!

My Blurb

Glen Davis prepares for another year as a High School English teacher. In his classroom sits a beautiful antique desk. A desk that makes Glen hear voices in his head. A desk that takes over his body and leaves him with no memory.

The desk hosts the spirit of a previous High School English teacher turned Serial Killer. In order to take back his life, Glen must help the evil spirit. In his case Glen must murder.

Lets Talk About It

The idea of the book was very intriguing however the actual story was a bit disappointing for me.

I took quite awhile for me to fully get into the book. I'm talking at least 50 pages before I finally got hooked. A lot of the earlier part of the book was background on the Character and building the case of mental illness/erratic behavior. I think it was right about 100 pages in were things really started to happen. Though even when things started happening it was all a bit lackluster. I was expecting and hoping for more.

I mean here is this opportunity with a Teacher being haunted by a Serial Killer. Endless opportunity for mayhem and yet the story doesn't develop. Glen never gets the chance to free himself from the spirit. The truth never gets told. It's as if the books ends without a real resolution.

I also noticed the glaring hole that was left with Glens wife. She left to go back to Korea for her brothers funeral and then all of a sudden there is no mention of her until the end of the book.

All in all the book was mildly entertaining and eerie in certain parts.

What an Amazing Story. I totally love it. I admire the author dedication for writing an incredible story. This story grabs my attention from the very start of the book and couldn't put it aside till I finish it. It was a wonderful read. From me, I will definitely rate this book and the author's hard efforts a 5-STAR. I highly recommend this book to everyone.
I love books that are action-packed, and stimulating at the same time. I must admit that I don't entirely read too much of horror genre or those of books as at times I've found they were a little too much for me. "Bloom's Desk" has a nice balance of horror, thriller, and suspense involved and I liked that it wasn't straight gory the whole time. There was a purpose to the horror and gore. It was a very engaging book that kept my attention from start to finish.
Overall Feedback Littorno blows you away with a richly developed and intriguing thriller. All readers will be in for a thrill ride to the last page.

Point of View You are Glen and get to walk these days of his life with him.

Voice Littorno drives the story to the last page with his "voice".
Character Development The way the author gives you insight into Bloom and develops a caring feeling for the reader with Glen is impeccable.

Plot The plot seemed rehashed as if I have heard it before but I was intrigued enough by the story to stay the course.

Dialogue Seemed forced at times but did not detract me from the characters or story.

Pacing Littorno excels at this and uses his expertise to drive the reader through the Plot and Dialogue.

Setting Who doesn't find schools creepy? The setting only adds to the intrigue and believability of the story.

Continuity Flawless to the end.

Did you ever wonder about what might be inside a teacher’s desk? Of course you automatically think pens, pencils, maybe some dry erase markers, papers, and assorted other boring objects. How about a murderer’s spirit? No? After reading Bloom’s Desk by Jeffrey Littorno, you’ll think it’s a very real possibility.

The premise Littorno puts forth is very interesting, particularly good for anyone who likes stories about hauntings or serial killers. I found myself wanting to see what would happen next, and there were some cliffhangers here and there that I looked forward to hearing resolve. Some of these parts were intense enough for me to want to yell at the main character. Frustration levels for the reader run pretty high in this book, but of course they’re supposed to. Surprisingly, at the same time I found it a bit slow, wondering how long it would all take to finally come to a head since there were periods in which nothing new was going on.

The parts with Glen’s wife, Christine, don’t seem necessary. In fact, Christine doesn’t seem necessary to the story in general. Instead the things that happen because Glen traveled to Korea were necessary, but he could have done that with a friend instead of his wife. Since many of the secondary and tertiary characters weren’t fleshed out much until absolutely necessary (in some cases never), it would have been worth it to eliminate the wife character and replace her with a friend that could have been developed more and consistently in the story.

It surprised me that Glen couldn’t figure out that something was wrong with him for such a large portion of the book. I could understand him not grasping what was going on, but much of the time he didn’t seem to know anything at all was happening to him. The ending was a good one from the beginning of it (it’s a long ending, but worth how much it’s drawn out) all the way to the very end, which provides a nice little jolt.

The voice talent, Don Kline, did an okay job, but many of his lines sounded like he was reading instead of acting and he followed a continuous pattern of speech that wore on me quickly. He also spoke in a halting way, so much so that sometimes I thought I’d heard the end of a sentence, but he then continued with more of the same sentence. It was a little confusing. I would also say anyone who is not a native or fluent English speaker could have trouble understanding his words as he slurs them a lot. The tonality of his voice was nice and the way he spoke sounded like a friend you’ve known a long time.

Overall, I think Bloom’s Desk is worth a listen, especially if you like paranormal books or even a creepy murder story. You’ll never look at teachers the same way again.
The story was very good. Unfortunately, the editing sucked. It was so unprofessional, it detracted greatly from the story. Disappointing.
Great book. Littorno's writing is a lot like early Stephen King - little twists you didn't see coming. Great Read!
