Query: don't believe the hype

It took me a whole week to finish this tiny 256 page book. Being a horror fan, I read all the reviews and figured I couldn't go wrong with this. Boy was I mistaken! 50% into the book and not a thing had happened. Nothing scary at all, just a bunch of background info and boring dialogue. Then after page 200, stuff finally started happening. But by then I was already tired of the book. Even worse, I couldn't stand the Eleanor/Nell character at all. I forced myself to keep reading this book in hopes that she would meet a nasty end.I don't need blood and gore to be entertained, but I do expect a novel that pops up on everyone's fav horror list to at least be scary. I would've finished this thing in a few hours if I cared to. Now I'm glad I didn't devote anymore time to it than I had.
