did not like it

This is honestly one of the worst books I’ve ever have had the misfortune of reading. I feel so bad that given our current ecological crisis and the massive paper shortage, that even a single tree had to die for this book to be printed. RIP to the trees 🌲

Chelsea Knowles It was so bad I didn’t even bother rating it. Part of me hates this book and I got an arc so had to finish it.

message 10: by Danielle (new)

Danielle Jones Nooooooo!!! I was so looking forward to it!!!😭😭
I almost paid $30 for this in the bookstore. Now I'll wait for the audio book from the library...


MiddleAgedBookWorm So interesting because another Booktuber I follow just raved about how amazing it is, and how it’s her favorite book of the year so far!! 🤯


✨meghanchristian Omg 😂😂😂😂


message 13: by Rae (new)

Rae Colyer i am fucking screaming, omg? 😭😭😭🤣


Caitlin Edwards I absolutely agree. This book was atrocious


Chloe :) I could not agree more! Thank you for putting my thoughts into words!


message 16: by Patricia (new)

Patricia Daniels I just returned it to audible after listening to 25 chapters! It just got more and more ridiculous. And Pupkin's high-pitched voice drove me insane!


Louise Leonard I so agree


message 18: by Anne (new) - rated it 1 star

Anne c Corn I couldn't agree more. I cried tears of joy when it finally ended.


Nancy Green I would shelve this book in comedy rather than horror for all of the times I lol’d at the ridiculousness when I guess I should have been terrified.


Carrie Snively This is one of my favorite reviews of all time. Made it to 43% myself.


message 21: by Ronj (new) - rated it 3 stars

Ronj This is so funny I think I peed a little 😂🤣


message 22: by Lori (new) - rated it 2 stars

Lori Foreman I couldn’t agree more. I thought it was terrible.


Nicole Conroy Thank you!!! I’m reading all these positive reviews like…are you people… okay?? I’m only 70% through the book and it just keeps getting worse🥴


Shirley Mytnowych I definitely saw it as a comedy or satire on a Stephen King book.


Kristina Masone It was not that bad lmao


Kaylyn Thompson I’m at 56% and want to DNF


Jennifer Well, the ratings speak. Guess you're in the minority.

Shasha Why I keep falling asleep mid-chapter


message 29: by Carla (new) - rated it 1 star

Carla O’Bryan I forced myself to finish and I honestly skimmed the last few chapters. I read his guide to vampire slaying and I liked it. This… this was awful.


Trisha You are right. It was miserable. I’m embarrassed that I even finished it.


Betty I've read worse books 😆


Sheila Barton I was hoping I wasn't the only one


message 33: by Mandy (new)

Mandy This is a bit mellow dramatic


Dylan A bit much


message 35: by Jane (new)

Jane Listened to it on audiobook and it was absolutely exhausting following the brother and sister's relationship.


Brittany I skimmed through the second half of it because it was sooooo bad


message 37: by Tara (new) - rated it 1 star

Tara I could not agree more!!! How anyone could like this is beyond me.


Sunny Green I don't believe you read this book. The style is superb, the composition was masterful and the ideas first rate.


Adrian Seaward-Moore Gotta give this review and some comments a 4/5 Pupkins on the dramatic scale haha


Tereza Černá I would like to know why do you people didn’t like it 🤨


Aloysius Why did you hate it so much??


message 43: by Matt (new) - added it

Matt If your going to sh*t on a book at least explain why. We want to know why you hated the first 3 pages so much! I just read this book (kindle) and it was slow to start, but once it picked up I could not put it down.


message 44: by Todd (new) - rated it 3 stars

Todd Loyd I need to see your review list.....Your bad books maybe things I am interested in.


message 45: by Scottiemilo (new)

Scottiemilo I agree. The reader on Audible kept mispronouncing the name Louise as Luis. That wasn’t my reason for giving up,though. The novel itself wasn’t very good. The family dysfunction was dragged out to tedium level.


MikeLikesBooks Funny how you give it one star because I just gave it 5 stars. To each their own!


message 47: by Kathy (new) - rated it 1 star

Kathy I've never read a book before that actually made me MAD because it was so bad. It was actually insulting. I didn't like anything about it.


message 48: by Kody (new) - rated it 4 stars

Kody Dibble It's not perfect but this review is shitty


Michael Celentano Agree completely. Perhaps one of the worst books I have ever read.


Jennie So, tell us why it's one of the worst books you've ever read. Many of us read it on Kindle or listed to it on Audible, so just ranting about killing trees is silly.
