The ending

Rather boring

Seen this around on Netflix a while back and caught on Film4 recently. I gave it a go as Emma Roberts is in it. Called February in the UK.
It's a very slow paced , atmospheric Horror. The pace is rather tedious to the point it's not until the last 15 minutes that everything comes together and makes sense.
A couple of girls are left behind at a boarding school in a cold bleak February. Something sinister appears to be happening. Meanwhile another girl escapes a mental health hospital and makes her way to the School.
It's just far too slow with little happening until towards the very end. Also one of those endings that is frustrating making you think is that it? The story once you figure it out is interesting but it is badly done.

Book Rating

I really enjoy Tony Parsons' books as they have always excited me, kept me on tenterhooks and had me reading long into the night. Unfortunately, Who She Was, for me, is nowhere near on a par with his previous books which I am upset about.

It pains me to say this but I found the story boring, the plot tedious, the characters totally unlikeable or memorable and the twists just meh!

Now, this is my opinion only and I have seen lots of reviews that rate this very highly so please don't take my word for it ... you can't please everyone all of the time! I also won't let this blip put me off from reading more of Tony Parsons work in the future.

Thanks must go to the author, Random House UK, Cornerstone, Century and NetGalley for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of Who She Was.
