The idea of this book is extremely interesting, but the second half of the book is a bit tough to get through. It felt disorganized and dragged on for too long in some scenes. Regardless, the premise was very interesting, so I’m still looking forward to the movie rendition & I enjoyed it enough to recommend giving it a read.

Honestly, reading this book felt like a chore & life is too short to spend time reading books you have to force yourself to open. The writing style wasn’t appealing to me and overall, it felt very ‘LMN attempts horror.’
