A ratos encontré pesada la lectura con descripciones reiterativas, pero en sí la historia esta bien narrada, de lo que en un principio creí que iba a ser una historia sobrenatural luego se convirtió en algo más bien policial.

For me, this wasn’t one of those books that was a page turned the entire time but one of those books that I think about constantly when I’m not reading it.

so nasty to read in the best way. the writing of young teen boy relationships and mother-child relationships are crazy good like actually bro i too am a hardo and like minecraft let me hang in the wood with y'all !
as soon as an older man was mentioned like the SECOND he was spoke of i wanted that man in the deepest prison bro seriously screw that guy if i see him outside my window tonight i will be pissedddd. really sad stuff i was hoping he would still be alive like stuck in a cave or something idk just freaky and sad , really good little read love the folklore love the mystery

Not a review so much (there are plenty of those online about this book) but a quick comparison with another of Tremblay's novels, A Head Full of Ghosts. I enjoyed both books immensely and I also rated A Head Full of Ghosts as four out of five stars. In my opinion A Head Full of Ghosts is by far the better book and I struggled with how to rate Disappearance at Devil's Rock. My solution was not to compare them but judge each on its own merits. While they have some similarities in style, motif, and theme, they're both telling different tales. While Ghosts is the superior novel, the fact is that Disappearance is a spell-binding tale that kept me anxiously reading straight through until the (as usual with Tremblay) unsettling finale. I recommend it.
