The Children's Home by Charles Lambert

2.0

This was definitely a gripping book. I picked it up around 9pm last night and didn't put it down until I finished it a little after midnight. It was creepy, morbid, and mysterious. I was waiting for the mystery to be resolved, but it never really was. The story felt like a huge allegory that was too obscure to grasp. The writing was vivid and flowed in the right measure, but the lack of a payoff in the end killed my enjoyment.
