A review by rinitealeaf
NOS4A2 by Joe Hill
Did not finish book. Stopped at 50%.
I really wanted to like this book, I really did.
It started well, idea was good and I enjoyed Joe Hill's other two books I've read.
But alas, I was disappointed.
Some of the characters felt really icky, I mean yes it's a horror book but..
And around when Vic met Lou I started to have doubts that I would not finish this.
Joe Hill was so focused on telling us how fat Lou was and how his dad was fat and it was just Jesus Fuck. I counted that on one page the word "fat" was mentioned like 5 times..
(I don't understand how it's added only as "minor" CW by the users here 😒🤔
Good idea, some good characters but poor writing couldn't save.
I got to 51%, final nail in the coffin was when Manx killed the poor doggie 🤬ðŸ˜
