A review by rmnedder
The Ritual by Adam L.G. Nevill

Did not finish book. Stopped at 12%.

I had really wanted to read this, especially since I had seen the movie a few years back and loved it. I will admit, maybe that did ruin my expectations for this book. That being said, this book just dragged. I found that everything moved far too slow for a book with this premise. It didn't crawl along with the creeping dread of being stalked, it just slogged along as I sat there waiting for something of real import to happen and kick things into high gear. It was becoming unbearable, which was why I stopped. I wish I could have gotten further, but at the point in the book at which I stopped, there wasn't enough incentive for me to keep going.
