This was a good, creepy read. The ending was obvious but it was fun getting there.

Beautifully written, but there were just to many loose ends for me. I expected so much more, and this novel just left me wanting.

I just don’t think this book was for me 
It was creepy and sad and there wasn’t even a shred of hope to hold on to that it would get better 
Just a very depressing read and not enjoyable for me

the synopsis sounded so much better than it actually was.
a bed bound man; his only reliance his mother in law; who’s treating him badly AND digging a hole in the garden without explaining to him?? it made it sound so good! but i didn’t really enjoy it that much
i didn’t feel for the man because he’s just made out to be a inconsiderate person
he reflects on his past relationship with his dead wife and reminisced situations in which he was the worst husband
and then he wants others to take care of him without pondering if he is actually worth taking care of
i know it sounds harsh but that’s just what i got from the book
still it was somewhat enjoyable and a 2.5 stars

Ta książka przepełniła mnie tak ogromnym smutkiem, że po skończeniu patrzyłam się 10 minut w sufit, nie wiedząc co zrobić.
