![]() ![]() (I tend to notice repeat information, and it drives me crazy.) I rolled my eyes a lot, and I kind of wanted to wring the characters' necks. They explained everything, overexplained, questioned, and did so multiple times. Their voices/internal dialogue/whatever you want to call it were, in short, annoying. ![]() All three POVs-Summer, who's kidnapped Lewis, her boyfriend and Clover, the kidnapper-sounded pretty much the same. ![]() But the writing gave the story a lack of thrills and suspense it took away those feelings you should get with a novel of this concept.īut what REALLY annoyed me (and I was able to bear it and not feel so UGH over time, but still, it was THERE) was just the writing in general. A girl is kidnapped by a man who wants this group of girls locked up in his cellar (with furnishings and all that) to be his family, he names them all after flowers, they have certain duties, there's murder, etc. It did several things to make this book not work. I don't want to sound rude or anything, but really, the problem here is the writing. (And I'd just watched Prisoners before reading this, so I was kind of excited.) However, I wasn't even 5% into the book before I had this sort of annoyed, ragey feeling coursing through me and wanted to put the book down. (I know, I'm weird.) I was hoping for a book that was a thriller, kind of dark and creepy, and, well, good. The Cellar interested me because it's about a kidnapped girl, and I like kidnappings. ![]()
