Book Review of The Little Stranger

The Little Stranger
reviewed on + 15 more book reviews


Waters' The Little Stranger is far longer than necessary and too slow to get started and build up to climax. It is not the page-turner or suspenseful must-read the reviews promise. While the author's writing is excellent, it can't carry a slow story and I don't recommend the book. Tipping the Velvet and Fingersmith, while far different subject matters are infinitely better reads.
