I am kind if on the fence for this book i did enjoy reading it and it was very thrilling but sometimes you had no idea what was going on or who was doing something or if you were in a flashback or not. I would recomend this book if you like Stephen King books or mystery thrillers.
I saw the movie and thought it was very interesting in a wierd way, but I'm sure watching the movie and reading the book have different experiences behind them. Reading the book would be the better route to go because it seems like it is more descriptive.
ReplyDeleteI think that this sounds like a weird book. I think that maybe I would read it. It seems interesting, but it might be hard to understand.
ReplyDeletethis book seems very confusing and i think i would get lost trying to read it.
