The good: I'm not one to read entire books in one sitting, but I did with this. The story was compelling, the illustrations were perfectly creepy, and I had no idea what was going to happen in a great way.
The REALLY BAD: The Maxwells are laughably stereotypical. It's like the author listened to a bunch of Alex Jones and was like "yeah, I can make characters on that." Truly ridiculous, pretty shameful.
In summary, it's quite an enjoyable book up until the twist. Then it nosedives.
