77 Shadow Street by Dean Koontz
1.0
*WARNING* 77 Shadow Street may make you hate reading.
This book was chose by my BFF as a part of our two person book club. I almost quit the 2 person book club. It was that boring.
It started off alright at a decent pace I guess. I started by listening to the audiobook while cooking and I liked the narration well enough but then the character dumping started. There was almost no character development just character dumping, by 1/2 way into the book I didn't care one way or the other if they all died
If there was one redeeming factor it was the audiobook, It did not make the book good by any means but it wasn't horrible to listen to while cleaner/painting my nails/cooking ect.
Perhaps at the beginning it was better than listening to nothing but eventually I think the book just got so boring I completely failed to care about it. That is when I started to READ the book as opposed to listening it went downhill so fast. I hated the reading style, so slow and so much had nothing to do with the book. This book threw me back into highschool era before I learned to love to read. It was like pulling teeth. I eventually had to speed read the remainder just to say I finished it.
On the other hand my Friend that initially chose our months reading liked the book quite a bit. I can't say 77 Shadow Street made me a Koontz fan, this was my second time reading him and first time finishing a book of his. If anything it has solidified my "I will never read this guy again" mentality.
Womp womp womp, after being on a long no reading for 2 months kick this book was not what I needed for getting back into the swing of things.
