A review by beastreader
Behind the Door by Mary SanGiovanni

1.0

I have tried and tried and tried to finish this book. In fact, I tried four times and only could get forty percent of the way into the book. I was really looking forward to a horror book. Instead, I got a snooze fest of a read. There was nothing appealing about the characters and nothing scary about the monsters that resided behind the door.

This is because the story moved extremely slow; as if to build up the big show down that was to come. However, when the story moves at a snail's pace, you have to have good character development in order to keep the reader's interest. For me, I lost interest. Within the forty percent that I read, I needed something to happen to keep me hanging on. The door can remain closed on this book for me.
