~~**summer**~~.
Popsugar Reading Challenge 2017: A book with one of the four seasons in the title.
Chilling, disturbing, and thoroughly engaging.
The book is deceptively simple, reminiscent of the sort of books assigned to honors English student in 8th grade and not read by anyone else, but it is also really effective.
Most authors these days start where this book ends, saturating the reader with angst and brutality on every page, wallowing in desensitized "realism" and achieving nothing.
Well that escalated quickly.
I had enjoyed this movie on late night tv, finding the antics of the characters to be a nice bit of mischief. The book, however, portrays them as a bit more sociopathic and by the end of the story, they are not very likable.
