Review:
I feel as if I am in a perpetual state of dislike for the book I have been reading lately. I don't know if it is because of my personal issues with work being hectic and I HATE MY UPSTAIRS NEIGHBOR or if these books are just that nonplussed to me. Hop.
I didn't get that far into the book actually before it was a strain for me to even pick it up. I turned to reality television and my Netflix because I have wary eye after wary eye to this book every time I looked at it. I really wanted to like it. Truly, I did. I always enjoy a good historical fiction filled with paranormal and fill-ins but this seemed to just drag on.
By the time I reached page 75 I was kinda done with it and I was a little sad about it. I like learning about the people but my main concern was that I couldn't keep any of the characters straight in my head. I kept having to go back and re-read what I just read so I could have some sort of understanding of who was who and what was going on. The spirits narrations weren't even the most difficult, just the regular narration in "real-time".
What I did enjoy was the actual setting. I like learning about the asylum and the museum but geez I just couldn't get into the storyline.
DNF...again.
