DNF, read approximately 70 pages, skimmed the end out of curiosity.From the beginning this book seemed…off, and I don’t just mean the plot. This book was supposed to be set in the 50’s, but a lot of the language, and characterizations seemed very modern. Then there was that strange subplot about eugenics that came out of left field.I kept waiting for something to happen, something lively that would pick up the incredibly dull, slow plot. It never did, at least not, it seemed, until the last 70 or so pages. Then it seemed as if the writer realized the book was dull, and was trying to cram as much spooky, creepy, gross detail as she could. Mostly gross, in my humble opinion.I was really looking forward to this book, and was sorely disappointed. -- source link
