Awesome idea, let down bybad characters

I love the creature in this book, I think its exceptionally original, and I can see why the book has so much praise.
if your a fan if horror like me, you will love the creature.
That however is where the love stops.
The characters in this book are the stupidest bunch of f***tards i think I've ever come across.
I wanted them to die, they where that piss poor.
if you can get past that the book is pretty great.

Amazing, scary, shocking!

This book was a joy to listen to. The characters were so well written and the horror/gore scenes had me genuinely feeling sick! And the narrator was brilliant too! A must for horror fans

Left me exhausted but not ruined…

And I guess I kinda wanted to be ruined… it was a slow burn and a tense journey. Some people have said that the protagonists were ‘just stupid’ but I thought they just weren’t very proactive. It was a slog of a story with some extremely graphic details that many will find very upsetting. But ultimately, I felt like I was waiting for something big and almost action-packed to occur and it never did. That’s not to say that it wasn’t very effective; I often felt the sun-burned, stale and starving feeling of the characters and the book had a way of leaving me in that place with a longing to fight or run or be frenzied. But the ‘monster’ in this story (if you can call it that) is one that can’t be fought and so encountering this steady journey into not-quite-the-chaos-I-was-looking-for, left me feeling a bit restless when it was all over.

Great performance from the narrator (as is to be expected from Patrick Wilson) and overall, I do recommend it if this sounds like your jam.

Slow burn but worth it

10 out of 10 and Patrick Wilson’s performance storyline was awesome bit of a slow burn but totally worth it

Bit slow

The first half to 3/4 is pretty slow but the last part is pretty good

Standard horror fiction.

The performance is the best thing about this book. The characters are idiots and i couldn't wait for them all to die.

Incredibly compulsive dark thriller

This book absolutely hooked me in from the second chapter onwards. A gruelling page turner. I was obsessed with knowing the outcome. Great naturalistic characters in a very original and very tense scenario. An incredible read.

Great Concept, Bad Execution

Unlikable characters, many unneccessary descriptions, few "horror" aspects. Patrick couldn't save this story. Quite disappointed.
