I didn't enjoy this book as much as I thought I would. That's mainly because it wasn't written for me. I didn't understand all of the basketball and motorcycle references. I didn't feel connected to any of the characters. It wasn't scary to me. 
I really couldn't get passed how this book was written. It's very much speech to text. Now, having a book with a different voice isn't bad, but this books voice was not to my liking. 
I also couldn't get passed how it was a
elk spirit
all along. I understand the historical and cultural significance, but it turned out to be a silly concept. I wasn't really scared by it, just confused and at some points thinking how ridiculous it is. Again, this book wasn't written for me, and that's 100% great. Just not my cup of tea.
