I just could not get into this book, though I read over 10 chapters before giving up. I'd expected really to like it because I like "dark," but this darkness elicited nothing from me. It is, as described, an adult fairy tale. The problem for me is that the things that scared me as a child don't scare me anymore, and this book seems to be written as though they should. The suspense lies only in the fact that the reader, like Nick, doesn't totally know what's going on. Of course, I'm sure I would've found out had I read on, but the writing wasn't engaging enough to pull me through to that point.
