kimabill 's review for:

The Changeling by Victor LaValle
2.0

Ughhhhhh. I am so frustrated by this book. I LOVED the first maybe third of it, and felt like it was going to be a five star book. The characters were interesting and complicated and there were scenes that were so sweet that I just smiled and smiled. And that sweetness made the eventual tension and horror of the plot even more gripping and visceral. But THEN things took this weird turn and I felt like nothing made sense and the story got boring and it just felt like a chore to finish it. I really wanted this to be better. I won't summarize the plot because you can read it in the description and I am still bitter about this book and don't feel like typing any more.
