A review by alexampersand
The Taking of Annie Thorne by C.J. Tudor
4.0
I enjoyed this for the most part, but when reaching the final conclusion it did feel a bit like... well, we have Pet Sematary at home already. The difference is that book presents its facts at face value, which means the repercussions and human decisions can be examined. Whereas with this book, most of it is leading up just to the revelation of what happened. So maybe I'd enjoy it more without that comparison.
Saying that, I did find the story quite intriguing and I do love a flashback. The character of Joe was an absolute tool though, I hated him. And by the end it felt like all the loose ends being tied up sort of seemed more like extraneous details that perhaps weren't overly necessary to the book as a whole.
