yet another "america is the centre of the universe book". fuck, i hate getting hyped up about great horror and the horror being...
connected to war in afghanistan
. but actually, america is the one true horror so maybe that checks out.
main character is horribly written, but what to expect from a male author to write female characters. daddy issues and inconsistent personality wrapped together. (im not sure if author knows that women dont deal with daddy issues like this)
i wasnt introduced to her enough to really care. also, the writing seems kinda misogynistic??
not enough tension built throughout the book, the author basically tells you the reason for all this on page 120. if i know everything on page 120 of 320, what motivation do i have to continue reading? sure, to find out how it ends but it can only end in everyone dead or just some people dead, so like.
nothing new and profound as people hooked me on. in my opnion, author took too complicated a story and couldnt deliver.

This was so so so so good! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. It was scary. It was gruesome. It was touching at times. I had a good time reading this book and now I want to pick up more from this author.
