A review by badseedgirl
The Last Final Girl by Stephen Graham Jones
2.0
I'm sorry to do this but, yeah. This was a 2 star read for me.
A note to future authors:
1.) For the love of all that is unholy, please stop writing your stories in cutesie formats. This time it was written as a movie script. It did not help me engage in the story, but rather was a distraction.
2.) You, as an author don't fall into the trap set by [b:Ready Player One|9969571|Ready Player One|Ernest Cline|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1500930947l/9969571._SY75_.jpg|14863741] author [a:Ernest Cline|31712|Ernest Cline|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1310753539p2/31712.jpg]. At a certain point there are just too many references and instead of being a dagger to drive the point home, becomes a sledge hammer to beat the reader with.
I don't blame you Mr. Stephen Graham Jones, not every book will be a homerun with everyone, and that is ok, but please, future authors, learn from his mistake.
With Love and Admiration,
