aurqra 's review for:
And the Trees Crept In
by Dawn Kurtagich
3,5/5
What a story! I thought the plot was very original and pretty well done, all the spooky elements surrounding the house and the woods were incredibly well written and the descriptions were amazing. I think that it would have been easy to make the parts about the woods confusing but the author wrote them really well. I think that if I had read this when I was younger I would have definitely given it 5 stars. I loved the changes of fonts and format, they really added to the atmosphere of the novel.
But, I did feel like the story was a bit too repetitive and it went a little too overboard sometimes, some part of the ending felt a bit out of place, and I feel like it should have been shorter, preferably by taking out the repetitions.
(Side note: I would not recommend this book for anyone with an eating disorder?? I don't have one and some of the descriptions around the topics of food/eating/throwing up made me feel a little nauseous.)
