A review by apatrick
Half Life by Shelley Jackson

1.0

I had to power through this one, just to get it done. Promising start, but it never panned out. One of a pair of conjoined twins wants to behead the other one, because she's been "sleeping" for something like 15 years. All through the book, the question was, "is she going to do it or not?" Eventually, we found out why Blanche was sleeping, but that wasn't explored as much as it could have been. Margaret Atwood would have written this book better. I left it tucked into the pocket of the seat in front of me on the plane.
