  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

Atmosphere is great and some great horror even if the book is more of a psychological exploration. Scene with what happened to Eric is genuinely terrifying

Ending is not great, spells out the themes and attempts to resolve them in a few pages
