This was a wild ride. It definitely felt authentic to the 80s, which was such an interesting (and not as great) time. I find it hard to rate the book any higher because of the subject matter but I did like the ending about friendship.

It was alright. I was expecting more to happen and found myself getting bored a lot. Maybe I'm just not the target audience? It was creepy in a campy way and it's a good read for Halloween but I'm not sure why this is so hyped.

A great read for the spooky season. I found myself lost in the story and figuring out where it was going next. 

Though I wouldn’t pick it up if you don’t like bugs!
