Asked to film a documentary about a defunct cult is a job Kyle will come to regret. A bold idea exceedingly well-written. My only negative isn’t that it’s a long book but that it also felt a little overlong. Would take an experienced editor to know what to cut, though, as there’s a lot to take in, but I feel the length diminished the deliciously creepy suspense some. Not enough to affect my enjoyment, but for me the book loses a star because of it… which isn’t drastic criticism by any means. Had I not read the book, I would have missed a wild ride and much scary imagery. Extremely imaginative and well worth spending time with. Plot summary. Documentary. Cult. Hauntings. Abandoned places. This book is a replica of how I write university essays. I start off really well, the paragraphs are slowly and carefully written. I get to the middle and I'm almost getting over it but I'm still trying really hard to write something distinction worthy. Then I get to two thirds in and that deadline is coming up and I just say fuck it, rush the ending as much as possible and submit it without caring. So I loved the first two thirds of this book as you can probably tell.. Some aspects were actually a little scary and I love the horror trope of catching paranormal things on tape. Unfortunately I didn't particularly like the ending. It ended up going into a completely different direction than I was expecting and the last chapter was incredibly abrupt and was not frightening in the least. Overall it was an enjoyable slow burn that kind of fizzled out. Well, holy sh*t. A night, and a day, and a night gone, lost in a book so atmospherically terrifying that I could NOT wrench my brain away from this slobbery, sickeningly crunchy feast of a tale. Mr. Nevill, you are a twisted man. I'm so glad I don't live inside your skull, and I feel kinda sorry that you do. This is the first novel by this author I've read, having really enjoyed his short stories, and it's a solid read but didn't rock my world. The mythology Nevill slowly reveals concerning the Blood Friends is original and very creepy, but the book treads a lot of water on the way. Maybe the slow route would have been more enjoyable with an interesting protagonist, but the one we get spends all his time vacillating and whimpering. I understand this is an attempt to make the character more relatable, realistic characters aren't fearless bad-asses, but he's so scared so early he reminded me of Shaggy from Scooby-doo, paralyzed when he so much as hears a creak on the floor above him. Fortunately, the slow build culminates in a thrilling, nightmarish invasion of the Blood Friends' nest, the protagonist dragged into action by an amusingly gung-ho merc-wannabe I wished showed up earlier in the narrative, then ends on a fiendishly perilous cliffhanger that's too good for the reader to mind. I didn't always enjoy reading the book, but there were enough good moments and ideas for me to try more of Nevill's novels. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
