I mean ?????????????????

Okay first of all I feel like the beginning of the story really hooked me and I was excited to dive in! As it progressed, that wore off because I felt like the same events were happening over and over. I was bored AF by about 50% in and that on top of the very forced and weird religious aspect was enough for me to dislike it after listening to it which literally took TWELVE DAYS bc it was 24 hours long. The book could have made its boring Christian fiction point and ended at about the 65% mark. The main character Christopher was supposed to be 8 but acted as if he was at least 12-13 and I couldn’t tell the difference between the imaginary and the real world half the time but I was too bored to care. Overall, I feel like Chbosky used cliche horror to disguise a Christian message which I do not appreciate. I’m not against the religion it’s just if I wanted to read a Christian fiction book instead of a horror book I would have done that.
