Again, I hate predictability. I was bored by the last 200 pages and apparently the author was as well.
Lovely but hated that every book from this series finished with cliffhanger, so you have to go and buy the next one. That's why I read only 2.
DNF at 51%. This was good until it freaking wasn’t. It was an interesting plot…too bad the author didn’t do it justice. Literally could not stand to listen to this audiobook after 50%. I HATE TO DNF A BOOK but life is too short to force yourself to finish books ya hate.

Such a cool story and the vintage photographs were both creepy and perfect. Can't wait to read the next one in the series when it comes out.
I didn't have any background or really any expectations with this, and I found it pretty interesting! It didn't speak to me enough where I want to pick up the rest in the series, but I enjoyed it enough.

Ugh, sigh. I liked the story. I thought the characters were fairly interesting, despite the silliness of the supporting characters and the odd way the friendships evolved through the story and the lore. Overall I was not offended by the writing because I understood it was a YA novel and with that comes some idiosyncrasies.
That said, the narration was awful. some of the lines were read poorly (emPHAsis on the wrong word making the meaning feel clumsy). But that was nothing compared to the accents. The narrator trying to find the accent was akin to looking for a light switch in a dark room. desperately feeling around left and right and up and down, and when you finally find it and flip the switch, the light burns out forcing you to feel around for a different light source. Tragic would be the best way to describe it.

I loved the mix of photos and text! This is a very good expansion of the movie, for someone who had only seen the movie before reading it. I'm very excited to read Hollow City when I get my hands on it. Since the book ends so much differently than the movie, I of course need to see where the story goes.
