Black Mouth by Ronald Malfi
Did not finish book. Stopped at 60%.
I read 60% and then had my buddy-reading buddy fill me in on the rest, so I feel well informed enough to say this was a really stupid book.
I didn’t enjoy my first Malfi (Come With Me) but wanted to try again and, you know, at least Come With Me told a cohesive story, even if it did nothing else. Black Mouth was all over the place and not remotely in a good way.
Little to no character work to speak of and the first actual events don’t happen until past the halfway mark and even then they’re stupid as hell.
I think I’m done trying this guy (even if I do already own 3 or 4 more of his books).
