Couldn't even finish it.
Gave it up at the 24% mark. I just couldn't bring myself to go any further. The plot was okay, but the writing was ridiculously trite and "junior high"ish. The dialogue between the characters was, at best, worthy of great eye rolls and, at worst, so horrible and unbelievable it made me want to throw the book across the room. Plus, the book was just SOOOOOOOOOO SLOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW. I wanted to finish it; I really did. There have only been maybe two times in my entire life that I didn't finish a book that I had started, and it killed me to add a third to that, but this book just really, Really, REALLY wasn't for me

Amazing junior mystery
For a Junior fiction novel, this was dang scary! It was also an incredible read. It's thoughtful, scary, and really held my interest (which is hard these days). I immediately picked up the next one to read.

As far as supernatural mysteries go, I didn't have high hopes. It sounded run-of-the-mill and it almost lost me in the beginning because there are multiple parts to the story. They wrapped up a case but it's all intricately tied together in a way even I (who is very good at guessing what's going to happen) didn't see coming. It kept me guessing all the way until the last sentence.

I really got attached to two of the characters, and the third was slowly growing on me. They're relatable, even though they're around 10 years younger than me, and very well written. Stroud also did a fantastic job of not revealing too much more than what we need to know. It can be frustrating for others, but it was the perfect balance for me.

Overall, I am extremely impressed and pleased with this book. It actually scared me. I look forward to starting the next one!

Album Favorite

"As a teenager in the late 70s I wasn't really interested in contemporary pop music or punk-rock, I was listening to stuff from 10 years earlier. This was a big record for me. Sometimes when I'm singing – it occurred to me last night in Istanbul – I realise there's a certain kind of vocalising I do that takes its cue from Leon Russell. He sang in a southern accent but it was very blown-out and exaggerated, very free and loose. I got this record as a gift for playing in the baseball team at junior high – I loathed sports but there weren't enough people to complete the team. So the coach said, have as many records as you want, just please be on the baseball team. I was like, all right I'll do it."
