Unbury Carol
by Josh Malerman
*2.5 Stars
This started off really good and I was intrigued enough to keep reading/listening. I loved the premise and the western atmosphere that Malerman created with this story. And I also really enjoyed getting Carol's perspective while she is in the comatose state.
But what really brought the story down for me was that there are so many different perspectives to tell this story and normally I don't mind multiple POVs in a story, but in this case it made the plot really convoluted and hard to keep track of because we would be following the story and then we would get thrown into the perspective of a completely random character. Because of this, I found myself start to not really care about what the resolution would be at the end.
I don't think this is a horrible book, I just think the POVs could have been a little more condensed to maybe just Carol, Dwight (her husband), John Moxie and Smoke (the Hitman hired to find John).
