raichu23 's review for:
The Creeping
by Alexandra Sirowy
**2.75 stars
I enjoyed parts of the book but overall it just felt flat at lot of places. The main problem I had was that it was too immature. It was like a teen drama show with characters behaving illogically and events happening that are just stupid. The adults in this book take no real action and everyone is so nonchalant about certain things. The main group of girls were sometimes so immature and two of them just disappear halfway through. I would have enjoyed this book more if a 14yr old me was reading this.
With creeping being on the title I thought it would be a bit scary but it was spooky at certain places but not 'making you scared of the dark' scary.
The writing is good and at certain places does build a spooky scenic atmosphere. But at some times the writing does get immature as well.
The story started out rocky for me but it gets better as you get used to the characters. It gets very slow and the plot is dragged out in the middle. I didn't particularly like the twist at the end.
Overall it's a okay teen drama/ horror/ mystery book which would be enjoyed much better by a younger reader than a 21yr old me.
