stormlightreader 's review for:
Sacculina
by Philip Fracassi
Fracassi takes a fear that many people naturally have of the ocean and makes it worse, and as someone who has worked with/studied animals for a long time, I now have a whole new scepticism of barnacles 😂
The continuous format of the book lends itself well to keeping you immersed in the horror of the situation, which chapter breaks would have interfered with. I was preparing myself to be disappointed by the ending, but Fracassi gives us a realistic and somewhat open-ended conclusion to the book, which I liked.
The book is slow to start, with characters that I initially found difficult to invest myself in. Though, by the end it was nice to see the brothers so concerned with each other's safety and their father's fate was also sad. The horrific situation sees a questionable action take place and does make you wonder if the scenario actually played out as described. The biggest negative was a pretty cliché nightmare scene, which wasn't necessary.
