Took me longer to finish it than I’d expected: ended up putting it down a few times and forgetting about it. Story was interesting enough but the pace slowed me down. A few other reviewers thought you could hack off 100 or so pages and I wouldn’t be too hard pressed to agree.

It’s a heavy metal ghost story full of old hairy dude narratives of fucking goth girls. Hill wrote some pretty two dimensional women here: they’re sex objects or mothers, bad or good at either of those roles.

Besides that, there’s some fun turn of phrases and Hill creates some inside jokes that make the reader feel included. A lot of ups and downs of interest but when it picks back up, after I picked it back up, I was glad to finish it. Middle ground 3.5 from me.
