I’ve seen some comments of people saying this book dragged on or it was boring. I wonder if we were reading the same book because this is one of the most in depth and well written books I’ve had the pleasure of reading. Completely different writing style from his other book “Penpal” (which is also great) not to say that his other book wasn’t well written, but Bad Man felt a little matured, his writing felt more seasoned and eloquent. Though i didn’t care much for the ending, I thoroughly enjoyed it. ( ) Fan- fricking- tastic!! I loved Penpal...it was easily my fave book of the year I read it. So, I was afraid Dathan would fall victim of having a too successful first book release....meaning the next book would certainly pale in comparison...no matter how good. I was wrong!!! My fears were unwarranted!! Bad man is amazing!! With a totally different feel and writing style, Dathan impresses with his talent...he won't be pigeon holed to one style. While both of these stories deal with child abduction....they are completely different. Bad man is a puzzle that unfolds beautifully and flawlessly as you read. I wasn't happy with the ending.....but, even that can't soil the beauty of this book. Dathan has a large fan following due to his creepy pasta stories. He has also seen some harsh reviews.While normally completely understanding of differing opinions and literary preferences...I have to eschew that line of thought here....if you don't appreciate the writing of Dathan Auerbach, you simply have no literary vision! This book felt like the author started out with a strong plot, but got distracted along the way with world building. I did enjoy reading it and he does a good job, it's just that ultimately most of it had no real bearing on the ending. Maybe this would have been better off split into 3 or 4 shorter novels, giving the author more room to explore the characters and their stories, instead of trying to fit all into one story of a boy missing. Look, I hate ragging on books that don't have a lot of reviews. But this was just a hot mess. 95% of the time I had no idea what was going on. One second they were in the store, the next second in the middle of the woods, and it was just so confusing. The ending was ridiculous and the book itself was one of the most poorly-written novels I've ever read. The only reason I got through it was that I hate not finishing books that I'm already at least around 20% into, and that was about how far I got when I decided I hated it. I would honestly give this negative stars if I could. Please save yourself the trouble and just don't read this. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
Premis
Reddit horror sensation Dathan Auerbach delivers a devilishly dark novel about a young boy who goes missing, and the brother who won't stop looking for him. Eric disappeared when he was three years old. Ben looked away for only a second at the grocery store, but that was all it took. His brother was gone. Vanished right into the sticky air of the Florida Panhandle. They say you've got only a couple days to find a missing person. Forty-eight hours to conduct searches, knock on doors, and talk to witnesses. Two days to tear the world apart if there's any chance of putting yours back together. That's your window. That window closed five years ago, leaving Ben's life in ruins. He still looks for his brother. Still searches, while his stepmother sits and waits and whispers for Eric, refusing to leave the house that Ben's father can no longer afford. Now twenty and desperate for work, Ben takes a night stock job at the only place that will have him: the store that blinked Eric out of existence. Ben can feel that there's something wrong there. With the people. With his boss. With the graffitied baler that shudders and moans and beckons. There's something wrong with the air itself. He knows he's in the right place now. That the store has much to tell him. So he keeps searching. Keeps looking for his baby brother, while missing the most important message of all. That he should have stopped looking.
