erinh81 's review for:
Unbury Carol
by Josh Malerman
I almost gave up on this book, but slogged on to the end anyway. The pace of this book was slow and the build up extremely slow. The characters were uninteresting and not too different from each other; they all used the same way of speaking, which was this awkward and stiff pseudo-western lingo. The “who cares?” portion of this story doesn’t come until about 2/3 of the way through the book when the main source of Carol’s condition is revealed, and even then it’s hard to care because this (and other elements) were not sufficiently explained and the main storyline isn’t resolved by the end of the book.
I was doubly as disappointed by this book because I LOVED Bird Box. I mean, in the top 10 books I’ve ever read - a masterpiece of psychological horror. This book is so boring and bland I am having a hard time believing these books were written by the same author.
Sadly, Unbury Carol is a swing and a miss.
