Come with Me

Unfortunately, this book started out really strong and then sort of petered out. As the top reviewer stated, this really does start off as a 5-star read. It then kind of drags on with an OK ending and followed by a truly dreadful epilogue.

I thoroughly enjoyed Malfi's writing style although sometimes his flowery writing was a little excessive. The story itself is a bit bloated and not a lot happens for stretches. I felt like playing a video game where I'm out on a fetch quest that leads to another and another. And speaking of dragging, the final chapter drags on and on and on. It felt so unnecessary and long.

My three star review is a bit complicated in this instance. I'm not saying it's mediocre, and I don't want to discourage people from reading it. I think people can take away different things. It's definitely worth the read, just not mind-blowing. And there is much left for discussion and interpretation.
