rainbownarwhal 's review for:
Into the Water
by Paula Hawkins
I liked it but didn't. there were so many characters and narratives I found myself wondering "who is this again" on several occasions. Each character played their part well but I feel as though I didn't get to really know any of them in depth as much as it's like to.
This one sat on my shelf for a while before being read, and I did actually enjoy the story, just not the style of composition.
All that having been said, I do wish book comparisons would stop, even when they're written by the same author. You know the ones I mean. It seems like fishing, even begging, for readers, instead of letting the material stand for itself. Every title, even those in a series, are independent books. Comparing one to another does no justice to either and often times, does exactly the opposite - it invalidates both pieces and the author(s) who wrote them.
