White Privilege and Cognitive Dissonance

Revisado: 01-23-24

I used to like these books earlier in the series. Now, I'm completely irritated with the author's cognitive dissonance and harmful stereotypes of African Americans. Not to mention how she goes on to praise George Washington and totally dismiss that he and his mother owned hundreds of enslaved men, women and children. I find it odd that her character has a problem with George Washington's mother saying "Sodomite" but completely overlooks the fact she owned slaves and thus they both participated in the oppression, torture and killing of slaves. Even after George Washington waited until after his death to free his slaves, not all of them were able to go free. Guess that part of history is easier for some to overlook than others.

Hard to Understand

Revisado: 09-09-21

The narrators were extremely hard to understand when portraying some of the locals. The spoke to low and the accents that they tried to imitate made it difficult to even understand what they were saying. Other than that, I enjoyed the story.

Stupid...

Revisado: 04-10-19

This book started off well then it became so awful I had to return it. The book switches from unnecessarily gory to completely stupid with each passing chapter. I will be sure to avoid this author at all costs.

Soooo Disappointing!!!

Revisado: 05-04-18

I saw the movie first and this book down right irritates me!! The book spends more time on irrelevant characters (such as Laney and the antagonist David Strickland) then on Eliza and the asset. The book gives meaningless insight to insignificant characters.This takes up the majority of the book. I was hoping to gain more insight to Eliza and the asset’s relationship. Combine that with the overload of analogies and metaphors makes this book boring, hard to swallow and utterly disappointing.

Depressing and Boring

Revisado: 04-11-18

The scariest thing about this book is......nothing. This book focuses more on the depressing lives of its characters or acts of random violence. I couldn’t connect with hardly any of the characters. The author tried harder to make his readers feel depressed than scared or even interested. Despite the parts with the monster (and there were not many) acts of violence and depressing storyline I was bored throughout this book. I returned it and I feel like I just wasted a part of my life on this thing.

Not a fan

Revisado: 02-04-18

I’m normally a fan of Ambrose Ibsen but I feel like this book was lacking in many areas. The characters were not well developed. The plot needed improvement and the history behind the monster and the house were poorly explained. Also, the narrator’s voice was monotonous, which made it difficult for me to appreciate the story.

Meh....

Revisado: 08-19-17

This story was more of a comedy than a scary novel. Many parts of the storyline made very little sense and the author failed to answer numerous questions at the end. To add insult to injury, one of the main antagonists in the story were "demonic, man-eating goats"......and yes, it is as ridiculous as it sounds. I would not recommend this book to anyone.

I want my money back!

Revisado: 07-13-17

The best thing about this story was the narrator's performance. Many trivial things were over-explained by the author but the information crucial to the story line at the end was left out. I stuck through this book because I thought it would get better. It didn't. So now, I want my money back.
