A review by noellesmagicallibrary
Horror Movie by Paul Tremblay
2.5
What did I just read? The only good thing I want to say about this book is that it made me want to hear the ending so I kept listening.
I do wonder how the story is presented in the physical format. Initially the audio was difficult to follow with the change in timelines and between real and movie. The voice actors were great, but occasionally they would repeat a sentence -- I don't understand what the purpose of that was. I honestly thought my phone was buffering or something.
And that ending. Why?!Think this story maybe be too meta for me, or maybe it wasn't me but the author was trying something that didn't work. But the narrator (The OG Thin kid, did we ever learn his name or did I already forget it?) basically takes method acting to the extreme and transforms himself into the monster-thin-kid and then literally eats the young actor playing The Thin Kid in the reboot. No. That ending scene was just not it for me. I got behind the narrator becoming The Thin Kid but murdering the actor was too much.
