A review by latati711
Playground by Aron Beauregard

Did not finish book. Stopped at 57%.

The first couple of chapters were good I read past all of the parts that people were complaining about all over tiktok and I thought the book had some potential... 188 pages into the book and I just can't finish it because it's boring to me. Like the author is good at writing when it comes to gore and stuff of that nature but it's the other parts of the book besides the gore that did not pique my interest. For example, the overly detailed description of the characters was literally snoozefest there was a whole chapter that delved into the backstory of the male Nazi scientist that I just skimmed through because I didn't care. I just wanted more action and less explanations.
