This week's book:
Devil in Ohio
By Daria Polatin
So I haven't done this in a while, but I totally bought a book that they have turned into a mini series on Netflix. Years ago, whenever I saw a trailer or film that was based on a book, I would want to read it. So when the hubby and I saw the trailer for this show, I was really interested. There seemed to be a cult and a corn field, what more can you ask for in a scary show?
Before I had even started the book, I heard some horrible reviews of the show. Apparently the show isn't scary; it's mostly just teenage drama.
The book is about a girl that is severely abused, and then her therapist brings her home to protect her. My family is full of therapist and social workers, and I just couldn't wrap my mind around a mental health worker bringing their work home with them. Most of the book is from the point of view of the middle daughter of the therapist. The daughter is insanely whiney and unlikeable, when I am assuming we are supposed to relate to her, but I just couldn't stand her.
The book definitely gives off a Single White Female vibe, and there wasn't much to do with the actual cult. The book doesn't have anything exciting until the last twenty pages, and by then I just wanted the book to be done.
I definitely wouldn't recommend the book, and I don't even want to check out the show much any more either.
