"your book really sucked"

I love books. I love that we can each read the same one and have completely different ideas about if it was good or bad, if it was believable or not, if we'd recommend it to someone else, etc. Who among us hasn't read a book we thought was terrible?

I read No Exit and I absolutely loved it. This one was alright didnt really hold up to my expectation for some reason. Had a few twists that I didnt expect and I have to say didnt love any particular characters.

This entire book is a very big statement on why authors really shouldn't read reviews of their books. Reviews are for readers not for authors. This book was set on a nearly isolated coastline and both the environment and the house itself were so atmospheric and creepy. The book kept me reading as the author got more and more deranged. It's a little graphic in places, so if you prefer a cozy mystery, read cautiously.

Spoiler for those worried about the fate of dogs in books they read: (view spoil ...more
