Abarat: Absolute Midnight by Clive Barker

1.0

Huh. Thought this was a trilogy. Not going to be reading the next book, though. I feel like this entire book was written by a high person, or otherwise that it's very bad fanfic. Was repulsed by the "instalove" that came out of nowhere, and there were many gaping plot holes and dropped storylines. I've always disliked that the reader is supposed to be sympathetic to Christopher Carrion; being abused is no excuse to continue the cycle and hurt others. Book was a lot gorier, but I didn't mind that.
