Four Found Dead

what a completely tone deaf book for the society this came out in.

this is a “night at the museum” (but in a mall) meets a glorified active shooter situation.

i really hated:

-the fact that clayton's character was so underdeveloped. yes, i know he's the psycho who did all this. but the FACT that we didn't know until the very last chapter WHY he snapped, it made it all hard to not think there was a something much bigger in play only to be dissapointed.

-the fact that hudson's character was so red-herring-ish. seriously. ALL book i kept wondering when hudson was gonna turn on jo and the others. there were so many examples of him being shading but closing the door from the theatre, conspiring against summer, the weirdly revealed seizure disorder are just a few.

-the fact that it was not every poorly written. i've heard of great premise but terrible execution but this the complete opposite. this is terrible premise with the best execution it could have possibly had. i was genuinely anxious while reading and wanted to know what happened next. i think the chapters were very well spaced and paced out and each little insert between chapters came together so nicely at the end.

it's a 2.5 for me, luv.
