3.0
This was a reread for my book group & I approached with trepidation. But oh, the first half is very dull! I kept wondering if it was even the same book! The small town Americana goes on & on...I suppose to make the horror, when it comes, worse.
I was still scared, and I mostly only read in daylight. But in my head I had remembered this as an amazing story, when really quite a lot of it was a bit dull.
Graphic: Blood and Child abuse
