I didn't realize it was going to be just a story that wasn't even scary.

I don’t think it’s a retelling, but there are a lot of parallels.

I hate books where the characters talk about what they're going to do instead of actually doing it. I agree that it's weird the narrator would remember everything word for word instead of summarizing. :/ Great review!<br /><br />Tracy @ <a href="http://www.cornerfolds.com" rel="nofollow">Cornerfolds</a>Tracy https://www.blogger.com/profile/10715236765292209452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-35520409794281952512016-08-12T07:45:06.843-06:002016-08-12T07:45:06.843-06:00Great review!
