A review by alrightieaphroditie
The Dreadful Tale of Prosper Redding by Alexandra Bracken
2.0
two stars ∗ this book just wasn’t my cup of tea. maybe because i read it in january, and it seemed more of like an october/november book. i just felt like the plot was dragged on a bit longer than it needed to be.
i did, however, like the characters and the atmosphere the book provided. prosper was a really funny and relatable narrator, and nell seems like a girl i’d be friends with. maybe if i reread this closer to halloween i’d like it more? i genuinely love alexandra bracken’s writing style, so i’m a little disappointed that this book didn’t live up to the hype for me.
