The prose and The Old Man and Jacob's narration made up for it, I think. I can't wait for the next one.<br />"Sometimes you just have to go through a door" was one of the best lines of the book--I agree.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02708904894566620939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3514952726749279104.post-52188863373516363032011-09-11T14:41:49.351-07:002011-09-11T14:41:49.351-07:00I recently read this and have mixed feelings.

They ending wasn't particularly compelling. It felt like he had switched from one type of book to another. <br /><br />The photography was... interesting. But in the end he both used it too much and not enough. And why, WHY did he never give any explanation for the freaky clown twins that appeared in not one, but TWO pictures. That was just unfair.Sarah McCabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10985261436020635823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3514952726749279104.post-74944641083452715592011-09-09T14:05:26.774-07:002011-09-09T14:05:26.774-07:00I LOVED this book!I LOVED this book!Cortney Pearsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00774060537148628453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3514952726749279104.post-54988383068944033682011-09-09T00:08:30.504-07:002011-09-09T00:08:30.504-07:00This book has been on my tbr list for a while now....This book has been on my tbr list for a while now.

That's the main reason I bought the book. :)<br /><br />@1000th Monkey: I'm a huge fan of the whole kids-never-growing-up thing (Peter Pan!), but there was something that was so...not right about this version lol. I still loved it though!<br /><br />@Mel: Yay, I have a post for tomorrow! :P Also, you should totally get this book ASAP. I think I owe you an e-mail...<br /><br />@Cristina: Yay! Wasn't it wonderful? :)<br /><br />@Brooke: What are you waiting for?! Read it, woman! :P<br /><br />@Juliana: It's soooo worth it! I knew it would freak me out, but I couldn't resist, and the prose was so beautiful that it made the whole creepy journey worth it.

Something like that... and I agree, beautifully written and it just had this amazing eerie atmosphere... the idea of children never growing up, reliving the same day over and over again... that's what creeped me out the most. Especially THAT day and I LOVED 'Adam' with his outstretched finger. That was an awesome touch.
