This is a personal thing but I don’t enjoy books that leave too much up to the imagination at the end. I need loose ends tied up and explanations given. I needed to know what happened to Ian? What came out of Teach’s cocoon? Did the grandpa cause the grandson to change somehow or was it in him all along and he would’ve become monster whether the grandpa showed up or not? So that impacted my enjoyment personally.
I can see why people liked it though. I really liked the son and the dad. And of course the dog.
Oh and one extremely specific complaint that no one but me would care about because I’m a nerd: alligators don’t chew!!The alligator supposedly chews the egret chicks before swallowing them. Completely irrelevant to the story but it bugged me 😬
