I hated this book
So bad. Undergrad level philosophizing mixed with a boring, draggy plot that feels torn from generic horror movies. Super obvious the author had no idea where he was going after a certain point. Found myself wondering if this was fanfic or a self-published first draft or something - but apparently, no, it was a bestseller in Canada. A marketing trick if there ever was one. A great premise extremely lazily executed. Who are Iain Reid's parents? Are they famous? Why was this published by anyone at all?
