Woom by Duncan Ralston
3.0
Not quite sure how I feel. As an extreme horror novel it was good, I guess. Surprisingly well written.
I was a little dissappointed, maybe? I had seen so many people talk about the Main Point of the book and was waiting and waiting... And waiting..... For it to just be over in a page or two? (I feel like the story about Andy deserves perhaps more attention?)
I also found the part about everything always happening in room 6 extremely unbelievable. The same motel would've been perfectly creepy as well. It just seems too unlikely.
Giving this 3 stars just because I do enjoy extreme horror and if I had no critical thinking skills this would've been really good.
Lastly, why do white men feel like they need to portray black characters like... That? Just be normal about it. I feel like he was made black just so Duncan could type out the n-word. White man behaviour.
