I think this would’ve been marginally better if I could read French; it felt like some of the prose was lost to translation.Â
That being said, this was super underwhelming & kinda felt like a high schoolers attempt at writing ominous literary horror. Extremely choppy and disorganized with really promising passages every so often. The premise makes the antennae seem much more important than it is, and there is very little horror in this book. why people are recommending this in horror lists is beyond me. even calling it a thriller is tenuous. it’s mostly just depressing & makes less than 200 pages feel endless in a bad wayÂ
not for me. also, this isn’t included in the rating but the ebook formatting was ABYSMAL; not sure who to talk to about that but yeah. did not do the cover or the typeface justice
