The House with a Clock in Its Walls by John Bellairs
2.0
For such a short book, it took me over a week to finish it. Like many books written in the 1970s, this story is mostly telling with little explanation of the ‘why and ‘how.’
I mean, why was Mr. Izard trying to destroy the world? What was Mrs. Izard planning? Why did the Hanchetts move? How did Mr. Izard’s spirit get in the clock?
The characters are flat. The plot is sparse and full of holes, and the insta-friend at the end was ridiculous.
