I Hated It
Here is an adjective appropriate for this book: Odious. I hated the setting, every one of the characters, the histrionic tone of the narrative, the boring replay of the story. Picture Groundhog Day without the fun. The one thing the author got right: each chapter was like living in hell. Needless to say, after reading it for seemingly days and days, I was only 30% finished and I decided to seek my own freedom by jumping ahead to the last few chapters. It ends like any derivative Gothic novel and frankly, I couldn’t care less what happened to any of the characters of the story, whether villain, victim or putative hero. Just one question: Can I get my money back for the part I didn’t read?
