Book Review of The House of Lost Souls

The House of Lost Souls
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 2


After thinking long and hard about this book, I decided I hated it. The first 200 pages were hard to follow as the author is British and there was a lot of reference to British/Irish pop culture and slang. The story began by alluding to some terrifying event that had happened years before and the reader does not find out exactly what it was until page 243! From there, the story had great potential and I thought I might actually really enjoy the book, however, the writing just killed any glimmer of hope for this story for me.
