Mixed Feeling
I had quite mixed feelings reading these books. On the one hand, I loved the writing style. It was atmospheric. However, there were times when the repetitiveness was just too much.

I enjoyed the Violet, Klaus, and Sunny as characters and the three Quagmire triplets. The rest of the characters i hardly liked at all.


I think the book could be shorter. I liked the first three and the last four books but the middle could be taken out without much consequence. Towards the end I felt like I was just reading it because I had already come so far and I couldn't wait to finish them. On the other hand, I'm glad I read the ending because I enjoyed it.


I go into a lot more detail on my blog. Link is in my bio if you want to check it out.

Seemingly meek & mild William Blake (Depp) travels from Cleveland to the town of Machine, with all his hopes pinned to taking up a a promised position as an accountant. Soon after arriving he finds the job already taken and his path taking an unexpected and deadly turn, that leads him into the spirit world of Nobody, his new and strange Indian friend.
This film is a little dark, alot violent, pretty mysterious and atmospheric. As well as the amazing work of Depp and Farmer, there is a star studded cost including, Robert Mitchum, John Hurt, Gabriel Byrne, Billy Bob Thornton & Iggy Pop to name a few. Depp is nothing less than brilliant as he evades those hunting him down and as he follows Nobody deeper and deeper into his unusual world.

This film is atmospheric. It feels like it was written as a US film, something like Wrong Turn or Deliverance, but as this would be seen as having been done it was moved to the Scottish highlands. We follow two school friends reuniting for a hunting trip (as a Scotsman who knows nobody who has ever hunted or owns a rifle I found this odd) to the highlands. On their first, hungover, trip into the woods something goes wrong and their decisions made from then on land them in trouble with the locals.
The last half hour really dragged and could have been wrapped up so much quicker.
All in all, this feels like Deliverance meets the Wicker Man but while there are moments of excellence (the cinematography is excellent, and that first hunting scene is a real hard hitter) the pacing is all wrong.
