Book Review of A Good and Happy Child

A Good and Happy Child
curledupwithabook avatar reviewed on + 169 more book reviews


My rating has a lot to do with my expectations of the book prior to reading it. I expected something akin to "The Exorcist" or "Rosemary's Baby", as referenced in the advertised reviews of the book. Unfortunately, this novel falls far short of either one. I did finish it, but it was one of those books that was easy to put down. The characters were a bit shallow and the climax of the book was weak. As a first novel, it was a good attempt, but could have been stronger.
