Reading this book will at least make you feel a bit trapped and helpless. The author skillfully creates a sense of dread and claustrophobia as Johnny, the protagonist, follows a puppet into the walls of his missing grandfather's apartment, where he encounters a nightmare of puppet-infested corridors and rooms. The story is tense and suspenseful, keeping me on the edge of my seat as I wondered what horrors awaited Johnny in the dark. I was a bit frustrated with Johnny for his reckless and foolish decisions, but I also sympathized with his desperation and hope to find his grandfather alive. Right now I'm left to imagine the chaos that the escaped puppets will cause outside of the apartment.
