This book is fun and has some unsettling parts. I think if you have a fear of puppets the horror aspect of this book will be more impactful. However, it has HORRIBLE pacing issues (including an incredibly slow start) which often would take me out of the story. It also went on way longer than it needed to, could’ve probably been 30 pages less than it was. A few plot holes that probably won’t bother most people, but they are there and noticeable. It is very easy to root for the characters as the do become very likable even if that is a little iffy in the beginning. Overall, I enjoyed this book as a fun horror read. It wasn’t anything life changing or incredibly outstanding, but it was entertaining.
