I listened to half of this book via Scribd but the audiobook stopped working, and they no longer granted me access to finish it, so I cancelled my membership.
Read the rest via ebook rather slowly since September 2020. Life got busy with my debut book.
This is my first Bentley Little novel, and The Revelation was his first novel too. I liked it, but wish he would flesh out his characters better. Not a fan of his prolixity whereby a better writer, like Stephen King, could get the meaning across in half the word count. Some plot points were just ridiculous too.
With that being said, I’m not deterred from trying another Bentley Little book. I’d really like to try The Mailman or The Store. I also own a paperback of The Collection. We’ll see.
