A review by 2kimi2furious
The Darkest Part of the Woods by Ramsey Campbell

1.0

This book had the potential to be good. All of the elements were there. But it was soooooo sloooooow and all of the characters talked exactly the same (if I have to ever read the phrase "I'm sure I know/don't know" again, I'll rip my eyeballs out). Also, you could tell the author thinks he's so clever that every single metaphor or simile was about a tree. It was not subtle at all. Then you get to the end where everything happens, but then at the same time, nothing happens. I should have quit reading after the first 50 pages when I could tell I wasn't going to like the book, but I finished it out of some desperate hope that it would get better. Blah.
