The Auctioneer by Joan Samson

3.0

"The Auctioneer" left me moderately impressed. It feels like an eternity before the plot becomes truly engaging. The characters failed to evoke much sympathy, and the ending was unsatisfying.

I wouldn't describe the story as a horror tale. However, it does offer societal parallels, warning against deceptive rhetoric and promises. Overall, it's a cautionary tale that encourages readers to be vigilant against manipulation and false promises.
