iasa 's review for:

The Book of Accidents by Chuck Wendig
2.0

If you count the cover, this novel starts off great. For me, it fell drastically down the enjoyment mountain soon thereafter. Too many times I was asking myself 'Why are they doing that?', 'Why is this character even in the book?' or 'What does this have to do with the story?'. There is a lot going on here, and frankly some of it is excessive. The biggest issue I had though was I didn't feel like those questions were ever answered. There is mention of child abuse a fair amount and that can be a trigger for me, so perhaps I wasn't reading as closely as I thought I was. Just not for me.
