I have to admit I have been putting off reading this book because horror is not my favorite genre. I wasn't at all sure what to expect and I was pleasantly surprised in that I actually enjoyed the book. It did take a little while to get used to the epistolary format of the story, but once done, the story moved along fairly well. With the exception of a few "academic" rants, I was engaged in the story all the way to the end. I highly recommend this book.
