km0220 's review for:

Into the Water by Paula Hawkins
2.0

Bit of a let-down. The plot was pretty predictable...I figured out what happened before I was even halfway done with the book. The characters were unsympathetic and tedious; character development was tepid at best. While switching narrators can be effective in many cases, it didn't work well in this book. Too many unpleasant, boring people.
There were certain parts of the book that were enjoyable, such as the historical parts/excerpts from
Nel's books. The quality of writing was pretty good as well. So, overall, I am not quite ready to write off this author (unintended pun) for now.
