One of the few books where I also just love, love the ending. It plucked my little heart strings and I loved every second of the entire experience. ( ) 2.5 stars. Nothing about this book was particularly remarkable. It was entertaining enough to get through but at no point was it scary or creepy. I felt the plot twists were extremely unrealistic and very corny, sometimes even just confusing. The author took too long to build to the climax but then inserted a cliche action packed resolution to tie things up. I could have done completely without the last chapter of the book as at that point, I just didn’t even care about the characters anymore. The whole concept of a spirit trying to communicate through drawings just started to get more and more stupid as the book went on. There was a point of the book where I felt the author just abandoned all mention of the spirit plot completely and pushed too hard to make sense of an otherwise ridiculous and unrealistic plot twist. As a huge lover of all things scary and horror related, I was not impressed with this book at all. This was really unique.....the illustrations made it an exciting read. I do have a few gripes.....the stereotypes in this book are relentless.....the upper middle class family are white liberals....the eccentric hippie psychic next door watches Fox news......the well off Mexican family owns a lawn care business, etc. While I realize that stereotypes exist because they can be true to a degree....I feel that a modern book shouldn't be perpetuating stereotypes. As someone who disproves stereotypes....I'm a born and bred Southerner who isn't racist, uneducated or poor......I just feel its time move past these preconceived ideas. While the woke mob may take umbrage with the fact that gender dysphoria wasn't portrayed in a positive light..... I'm happy that Rekulak took the realistic and scientific route with this story. Overall, this was a unique and exciting read that I enjoyed very much. Stunned,Shocked and Amazed I honestly didn't know !ugh about this book. I had heard a few reviews on it ANF decided to try it. I am so glad I did! This is a mind bending,heart touching book. I absolutely loved All the drawings ANF yet I still couldn't figure it out. It's not a long read and the story goes quick. Loved I was recommended this book with the implication that it was one of the scariest books they read. So I guess I may have gone in with certain expectations, only for them not to be met at all. I felt the interesting parts only accrued toward the end of the book. The characters rational was questionable throughout. No one seemed reasonable but the love interest who didn’t have much of an impact on the story. It wasn’t a bad book. But wasn’t what I was looking for. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Pero un da? en el cuaderno aparece algo diferente: un hombre que va arrastrando un cuerpo en medio de un bosque. Poco a poco, los dibujos de Teddy se vuelven cada vez ms? siniestros y sus figuras de palo se convierten en ilustraciones realistas, cuya destreza supera la de cualquier ni? de cinco a?s. Es entonces cuando Mallory empieza a preguntarse no solo por el contenido de las ilustraciones, sino tambi? por el autor. Porque y si realmente no es Teddy quien las est ?haciendo? Y si se trata de... alguien ms?? Con este thriller sobrenatural, Jason Rekulak da una ingeniosa vuelta de tuerca a la cls?ica historia de terror con una casa llena de secretos escalofriantes y tal vez una narradora no muy fiable.
