NOT a slasher...be warned.
I want to avoid spoilers, which is hard to do while discussing the numerous issues with this book. I will say it's well-written and at least kept me reading to the end. I will ALSO say: this book is not a slasher. Instead, it is a bait and switch tactic to lure people who love that kind of material into a lecture on violence against women and guns. This was one of my MOST anticipated books of the year. I read it in 2 days waiting for the "slashing" to start and it never did. Very disappointed, as I'm sure many slasher fans will be. I did not buy the book to be preached to, or have a genre of films that I love deconstructed to the point of trying to guilt the reader into feeling bad about enjoying them. Slasher fans beware!
