The Reformatory

DNF 20%. I wanted to like this, and it started out so good. 20% in and it's already dragging. I think 2 things are getting in the way of this being a great book:
1. It's way too long
2. I feel like there is no need for supernatural horrors when the actual horrors of living in Jim Crow south are enough.
When I was contemplating DNFing this I went and looked at some of the more negative reviews (3 star and below) and it seems that they all agree this book was too long and drawn out. Since I was already feeling this way at the 20% mark I knew it wasn't for me.
