This book was not particularly innovative in its theme; I've read others like it with the same or similar ending. If it had had another plot twist, perhaps I would have liked it more. However, from the plot itself, you could tell it didn't have that kind of depth. Nevertheless, it was very entertaining, and I recommend it for a quick and comfortable read.



Para mi: Este libro es la historia de tres hermanos que vuelven a su casa cuando muere la madre y descubren un video de sus padres en medio de un homicidio.

 This book is really creepy. I don't know why I thought that it was a thriller, but it isn't; it's pure horror. There was a scene where I was grossed out by everything that was happening. I really like how the story develops and I enjoyed the ending. I RECOMMEND IT. 

Para mi: Es la historia de Louise con su hermano Mark donde sus padres mueren en un accidente de auto y quieren vender la casa pero Pupkin (puppet) los quiere detener.
