Horror Movie by Paul Tremblay
dark
tense
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? N/A
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
3.0
I'm... not sure how I feel about this book? I thought the layout was interesting and the premise was intriguing but the execution? Not so much. The motivation of a lot of characters (including the main character) escapes me and I think there were quite a few scenes that were only added for shock factor (much in the same purpose that some scenes do for some horror movies, those this book did not pull it off as well as those do).
The ending made me confused because what? Why did he do that? Also there were many loose ends left untied and I thought the main character's actions at the end of the book kind of came out of nowhere. Absolutely bizarre book.
