And this book almost made me quit in the middle, which is something I’m not sure I can forgive it for. Call it a compulsion, call it a control issue (as I have many), but I have to end something before I can begin something else. I have this thing within me that forces me to finish all things that I begin. I rarely consider leaving a book unfinished.
I also figured if a story is so good that it is been plucked off of a highly-rated website and subsequently mass produced as a published work, then I figured it must be worth reading, right? The storyline is extremely similar, and so I think my expectations for this book were a little high, as the film was highly entertaining. Not too long ago, my daughter and I saw the movie Split, starring the enormously talented James McAvoy. He visits a few times a day to spend time with his hostages, and every once in a while, brings another woman down with him – to kill. A $2 book found in clearance by a NY Times bestselling author can’t be that bad, right?Ī mentally deranged psychopath kidnaps women and keeps them trapped down in his cellar. While the storyline was not original, I was willing to give it a shot. The title gives you a great understanding as to what the book is about. One of the books that stuck relatively well was The Cellar. But when Preston boasts ” I stumbled into writing completely by accident. I was searching the ‘app store’ and came across Wattpad – an amateur writing site,” the writer in me cannot help but be offended. She stumbled upon a site, threw some stuff against the wall, and as luck would have it – for her – some stuck. I try not to judge books by their cover and in keeping with the trend, I try not to judge authors by their bios. Natasha Preston began her writing career on an online platform called Wattpad – and I hate to say it, but it shows. “ Four vases sat proudly on the side table behind the dining table and chairs one held roses, one violets, one poppies.
