A review by bexlrose
The Ritual by Adam L.G. Nevill
3.0
Really hard one to rate because it's almost 2 different books. The first part is awesome, really good horror. Blair Witch type hiking trip gone wrong for some English male friends, picked off one by one, dark shit. Good fun.
The turning point is page 243, where it changes completely. No spoilers, so can't go into it more than that, but it is no longer interesting, scary or thrilling in the last half. Gets good again about 10 pages before the end.
I read the first half of the book really quickly, then put it down for over 5 years!!!! Have only just picked it up again and forced myself to read the remaining 200 pages.
Worth reading for the first part and then putting down. The first part is a good length of book in itself anyway. I don't really know what tor give it. The second half would be a 2, the first half a 4. I guess that makes it a 3 overall.
