A review by exorcismemily
Picnic at Hanging Rock by Joan Lindsay

2.0

"Everyone agreed that the day was just right for the picnic to Hanging Rock."

I don't even want to write this review because I'm so annoyed by this book. I feel like there was framework for a promising story & that it was just thrown out the window.

I kept waiting for something sinister to happen AND IT NEVER CAME. There was all this chatter about doom and darkness, which are two things that are non-existent in this novel.

I got invested in the girls' story, and then so much of the book was about random guys who were associated with them. I tried to care & just couldn't. I was bored. There were way too many characters and I couldn't keep the random guys straight.

I hate the ending. That's all I'll say about it.
