The Girl from the Well by Rin Chupeco
2.0
DNF
I am just going to give up and put this one down, I am just about done with chapter 10.
I liked the beginning, started out decently reminded me a lot of Cassandra Khaws 'Nothing But Blackened Teeth' the prose was very similar and the style was not identical but close.
Biggest issue is if your writing in that way, you have to be conscience and short. The flowery writing coupled with a long plot makes it very hard to get into the story.
Particularly as the characters in this book were flat as a pancake, I think the goal was to build suspense and a creepy atmosphere but the attempt was unsuccessful. I would say this is a book that someone is going to absolutely love or absolutely hate and I fell into the later category. After having expectations of Ringu and The Ring mixed in with The Grudge... I was hoping for scary creepy dark gorey
