A review by sorkatani
My Heart Is a Chainsaw by Stephen Graham Jones
Did not finish book. Stopped at 50%.
DNF
The main character is exhausting!
I'm a life-long horror fan, and whilst I enjoyed the horror references, the underlying assumption that you can either be a horror fan or normal was extremely irritating.
Also, some of the slasher points were incorrect, i.e., revenge always being the slasher's motivation.
Very little actually occurs in the first half of the book and what interesting things do happen are relayed to us via Jade's secondhand information so you don't even get to read the actual parts that might have been exciting.
There was just enough to make me a little curious as to where the story was going and how it would end but I knew that once I stopped reading that I wouldn't be picking the book back up again.
