At first, I wasn't excited to be reading "Clown in a Cornfield" because I thought it was just another YA thriller, but I found myself enjoying it once I got past the first third of the book. I especially enjoyed the gore, which was totally unexpected. The story was fun and way better than I thought it was going to be.
I don't know how to feel about this ending. It definitely sets up the book for a sequel, but the epilogue felt like it was trying too hard. Nevertheless, I'm still probably going to buy the book to annotate and also read the other two books in the series.
This was the first time I digitally read a book so that played a role in me taking so long to read it (also the fact books over 400 pages intimidate me lol), but I still recommend this book to anyone looking for a good thriller.
Graphic: Gore, Death, and Fire/Fire injury
Moderate: Alcohol and Death of parent
