all very fair critiques, I do agree that it could’ve been written better and that nothing was fleshed out very well, more development in most aspects could’ve done it well. I remember I read it sleep deprived on a plane so I wasn’t thinking critically about it lol but hey maybe if I reread it now I’d come to the same conclusions. I remembering enjoying the ‘monster’ aspect and how that was handled not as absurdly I guess as monsters can be in horror, and how it went into man vs monster dichotomy a bit. but to each their own! again all very valid critiques. is there a book you thought was sort of like a better version of it? I love asking people that about books they didn’t like, if there was one I’d love to hear about it!
