A review by megbontrag
Imaginary Friend by Stephen Chbosky
2.0
If you loved Perks of Being a Wallflower this is NOTHING like it. It’s horrific and graphic and over the top with nasty imagery and ideas. It’s one shock factor moment after another and there are about 30 climaxes and it is so stressful for the entire second half. If you love horror then be my guest.
I don’t mean to rag on a book just because I don’t like the genre but the writing style is also so obnoxious. A paragraph will build up then he will start a new line with be the shocking reveal, written in an incomplete sentence usually. And towards the end one character spEaks EntirErly LikE thiS and iT is sO exhaustinG and annoYinG.
The last quarter of the book just drags on and on and on and the same thing keeps happening over and over and over and there are many almost there, no way out, end of it all moments, one after the other. I just ended up skimming and skipping entire paragraphs just to get it over with.
