Creature

"I struggled with Creature. I very recently read another medical story with a possible paranormal aspect, so I think I was a little burned out, and it was hard not to compare the two. <br/><br/>I do want to say that I appreciate what the other was trying to do, and I think this book will work well for a lot of people. This was a hard and personal book to write, and I appreciate the boldness in being able to share this story. <br/><br/>Creature is a very slow burn, but it does culminate into action at the end. I think overall I prefer books that have the action and story interspersed throughout the book instead of split into two halfs. I just didn't feel the suspense in this one. There was a cycle of noises outside, and small issues, but it wasn't enough to hold my attention. I may have enjoyed this more as a short story. <br/><br/>I spent most of the book waiting for something to happen, and by the time it did, it was too late. I couldn't get behind the direction the story went in. It was an interesting idea, but the execution didn't work for me. Just know going in that this one is heavier on the character study than the horror."

"I read this when I was younger, my cousin reccomended it and he's not a big reader! But I couldn't put it down when I started. Very good. "
