Also the story, besides that, just kind of fell flat compared to the last book. Maybe since the beginning gave me the ick it just... dampered a lot of the story.

That is where the excitement ends though. The story is a good bit different than the movie. I think the accident with the 10 year old would have been better than an hold man. Other than that I think this is one of those rare times where the movie was better than the book.And we won't be talking about that dumb AF show.

I am not the biggest fan of her writing. I like story with my porn. This was just basic. If you put it in a crowd from the same genre I couldn't pick it out. It reads like a lot of different stories. The whole book read like 50 Shades of Gray.

Seanan does a great job at woving dark ribbon into a white cloth. She takes you to these places and somehow you leave a bit of yourself there.This book is a continuation from book 8 and I was so happy that it was. Wouldn't like if it didn't have me feeling a little bit sad but it was nothing compared to how in awe I was while reading. I don't know if it was super quick or I just got lost in it.

I really liked how Emma wrote this. She kept to the mystery all while writing a story that came from little to nothing. It was kind of slow in places and honestly fuck Bill and Helen.

She was nothing but a BRAT. A horrid creature, if you will. It is set in, what I believe is, the 50s so of course things were drastically different but this is ridiculous. There were something I was okayish about. Like Ramona did get punished but honestly... it could have been a bit sterner. It seemed like Ramona never learned her lesson because people were way too soft on the brat. Another thing that bothered me was how Beezus had to 1. somewhat raise Ramona. 2. Was told to basically suck it up because the fucking demon child was sooo young. 3. Ramona still got shit even when she didn't deserve it.We need to normalize hating siblings. Who fucking care if she is blood? Second the stupid as fuck aunt who got Ramona a present so she didn't feel left out? After all the shit she did? How trash. If you do this you are horrible. It is equivalent to those HORRIBLE parents who sit back like fucking idiots and watch their demon child blow out someone's birthday candles before them, or hell even at all. Then just laugh. Crawl in a hole and NEVER come back out.

I like the jist of it but there times when I just didn't want to go back to it once I put it down. Vic started out pretty cool and then she became unlikable for a bit then so so later on. I did find some things in the book Joe had taken from his dad, which is kinda cool. As for the ending. Really didn't care for that either.

I enjoyed the... wild trip it gave. I did like some of the characters, mostly Death, Death of Rat and Susan. There were some really loveable times that I enjoyed immensely. The only real problem I had with it all had to do with the writing. I will say I have a smidge of a headache from reading majority of the book in one sitting. That is also my fault for waiting until I only had one day left on my rental. Lol.

I loved the story. The characters were so/so. Maria annoyed me when she was younger but loved her as she grown. Same with her daughter. I was disgusted with a 30 yr old man knocking up a 16 year old girl, but what do you expect from those times? Rebecca is a POS and you can't change my mind.I loved seeing the women rise up from their trauma and the things I recognized from Practical Magic (the movie). What I didn't care for too much was the filler between scenes. I know it made the book run through smoothly, Alice does this in pretty much all of the books I have read by her, but somehow I don't mind it. It is like a car ride where you have this long stretch of nothingness but you admire it for the beauty.
