A review by kristallmarie
Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Did not finish book. Stopped at 34%.
DNFed at 34%. Even listening to the audiobook version of this story was a total bore. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, though. I was told it was inspired by The Yellow Wallpaper, which I also rated one star. Instead of fixing the dragging pace and unnecessarily flowery language that made the original story so bad, the author leans into it and makes it even worse. I usually read at least half a book before I DNF it, but almost every review says the first half is better than the second, and if the first is already this dull, I can't even imagine what the second half would be like!
