insaneselkath 's review for:

Hour of the Witch by Chris Bohjalian

3.0

---

I enjoyed reading this as there was plenty of tension and the world for the most part felt real to me. However I became increasingly frustrated with the main character’s poor decisions (there’s a fair amount of idiot plot here I think) that made especially the last 50 pages or so difficult to get through without sighing. The book was a page turner for me, yet by the end the story as a whole felt a little silly, and I would have liked to have seen a more realistic conclusion.
