Finished reading The Black Spider. I know for a fact that some people did like this book. But for me it didn't do much in regard to me liking it. It did have some weird scenes in it. My rating for it will be 3/5

If you like; religion. That book is for you! It's not mine. It's about a family, or more, the grandpa who's telling a story about old times. He's talking for like, 70 hours. My version only had 70 pages, and I read it because of school. It was interesting, but not my taste.

Pretty good - intense Christian-charged old fashioned damnation and struggle against the Devil, but with compassion and insight into the life of the Swiss peasant village. Powerful language
