"It was not bad got about half way through the book and never went back to finish it. It was definitely a good creepy book if your into that. "

"This book was SO GOOD. The writing was incredible and kept me absolutely hooked through the entire -almost 700 pages- book. I think the plot of this book is such a new, creative idea from every other thriller book that it just made it so much more enjoyable for me. I will say, the only thing I didn’t like about this book was the random pervy comments the narrator and characters made, it just felt weird and unnecessary and added literally nothing to the book."
"I did really enjoy this book. I thought the premise was very good and very original. Joe Hill has such a talent with telling a story and making you sympathize and care for the characters. I liked our main character, Vic, a lot! I love her character development and how she wasn't just this perfect hero who always did the right thing and made the best decisions. She was extremely human with all the flaws that entails. My next favorite character was Lou. I just loved him... but I've got a thing about comic book nerds (considering I am one)."
