The Forest by Lisa Quigley
2.0
I'm a huge fan of M. Night Shyamalan's The Village, and I've seen The Forest compared to it, so I was quite excited.
I knew this was going to be a mothers-child centric story, but I was simply unprepared for it. Specifically how often the main character nurses her son- it's just so frequent. I understand infants eat a lot, but it's bad. It's so bad.
The concept was promising, but I can't get past the constant nursing, the "sour-sweet milk smell" of him that we're reminded of every chapter.
It also isn't horror. Nothing about the events are scary unless you're also a mother/parent.
