All I can say is, Grrrrrr! This book should have been so much better than it was. It is obvious that this Author can write but what he wasted his talent on was minute details, repeated from chapter to chapter to chapter. When he wanted to be creepy, he was. When he wanted you to feel a sense of awe, he did. When he wanted you to have an opinion about his characters, you had one. However, those were far and few instances and they could not carry the book. The only reason I finished it was because I thought there might be a great ending but I was wrong. Extremely boring and disappointing because you knew by the writing style that this Author could have done way better. I think he was more interested in teaching about something than creating a good read! I do not know if I want to try him again. All his other books sound good but so did this one!
