‼️‼️‼️ SPOILERS AHEAD ‼️‼️‼️ I have a few thing to say which means, spoilers for once.
This book y'all... It has been a freaking battle, but I wanted to finish it, because 1) I wanted to know where all the hate came from so many people and 2) I had already invested around 500 pages, and at that point, what were 350 more pages, right?
Now that I finished it, I wish I did put the book away and never finished it... F*ck me... The last 200 pages or something were the WORST pages I read in a loooong time. Honestly, the book started out kind of okay for me! Yes, I didn't like the whole "he must be sick because voices in his head like his father" but you have a kid, hearing voices, telling him to do things like build a tree house and digging in the ground to find a skeleton etc and all the mystery around it... I was not fully in the story yet, but I was intrigued to see where it would go!
But as the story progressed, the story was more and more lost to me... For real. Nothing against religion, you believe in what you believe, but when a book that starts out as a ghost story, what is real and what not, suddenly gets turned into a story about God and the Devil and Good and Evil and Hell and all that, nope... You lost me.
For real, I feel like it had so much potential, but whatever the end was, was (in my personal opinion) awful... The book got 2 stars for the beginning of the book, after that, nope...
