Book Review of The Dwelling : A Novel

The Dwelling : A Novel
WhidbeyIslander avatar reviewed on + 691 more book reviews


Waaaaay too long and drawn out with superfluous stuff about the drawings one of the residents is producing for a book he's co-writing, the trials of a young boy in his new school, and the alcoholic hazes the third house owner spends his days in. The thread that ties the stories together concerns the realtor who keeps winding up with the house on her list, and she is a sympathetic character, at least.

Not a very scary book, and I admit I skimmed a lot of the filler. Could have been about 300 pages shorter.
