The Story of Her Holding an Orange by Milos Bogetic

2.0

---

This book, while fun to read online as it progressed, was lackluster as a book. I actually think I enjoyed the ending much more than most. It added some sort of actual plot and structure to what was happening. Otherwise the entire book is literally a repeating sequence of "moment in characters life- woman shows up- prompts him to take orange- oh no spooooooky!" It's fun for a sequence like short updates on a horror blog. I don't think it translated to a book. Their weird self jabs the author takes on his own writing as well as the hamfisted joke about the Hollywood movie deal just make the writing feel... immature? It's quite short and a fast read, but I'm not sure I'd spend money on it again. Just look it up on NoSleep.
