Haunting submitted by emjane on June 14, 2021, 5:56pm I read this book over the course of a day and can't stop thinking about it. Narrative tension abound!

The writing gets in the way submitted by sfirke on June 27, 2021, 2:17pm Good idea but the over-wrought, showy prose is tedious and distracting. "A Children's Bible" is in a similar vein and is written better.

A high 3-stars submitted by avandeusen on July 17, 2021, 10:41am Jarring and confusing, but also I can't stop thinking about it. This book has stayed with me for several months. I am excited to see the film adapatation.

better concept submitted by kath on August 15, 2021, 10:03pm The concept didn't turn out as expected. Unlikable characters and a dull, dull plot that goes nowhere. The concept was interesting and sounded exciting - but did not develop. don't bother with this book
