Apart from some slight out of character stupidity of the "let's split up!" variety at the end, this is a solid read and beautifully written. The last quarter of the book gets really intense, I literally could not stop reading till I found out what happened.
Yes it was long, but I personally loved all the scene setting and getting to know the characters. I need to care about characters to actually get invested in the story and so, so many books just don't bother. Books are not movies. If you're looking for a snappy 200 page read which is just a bunch of action scenes strung together you probably will hate this.
And just for the peace of mind of anyone who instantly gets worried any time a dog appears in a horror novel, Rex is totally fine the whole way through.
