My Heart Is a Chainsaw
by Stephen Graham Jones
I didn’t get interested until about 70% of the way through, and saying I was interested is being generous. The main girl and her final girl were literally getting hunted down by the apparent murderer but I was still bored. I felt it could have been better. The ending with the bomb dropping of her dad assaulting her as a kid and going to the doctor to see if she was pregnant was strangely underwhelming? I felt this trauma could have been more explicitly explored at a deeper level that was integrated throughout the book. Also, why did the mom not have custody if this was the situation? He's a drunk and she's apparently a troubled child so why was she still with the dad? The writing felt messy, which I wanted to believe was because we were in the mind of a troubled 16 year old but there was no break from her messy train of thought. Maybe people love this if they love slashers, and as someone with minimal knowledge of them, it didn't make me want to indulge in them any more than I already did.
