dark sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.5

Scherp geschreven maar net als veel andere reviewers vond ik het portret van de ouders (en sommige van de kinderen) iets te karikaturaal, en het einde was de rest van het boek niet waardig.

Het draait allemaal een beetje op niets uit. Ik moest erg lachen met God, die de eigenaresse van een vakantieboerderij bleek te zijn. Tja, zou kunnen!

I was very very into this until the last quarter of the book, when the pacing completely changed and the author rushed through an ending. Ughhhg
