Sanctum por Sue Rovens
Esta crítica foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Críticos do LibraryThing.My feelings on this are a bit mixed. On the one hand, I like the writer's style, but on the other it's kind of dull. There's no real tension at all. Just some spooky stuff happens, a house eventually gets sold, a marriage dissolves, and a new realtor learns that his company is evil-ish (There big plan is to somehow let the ghosts of rich bastards haunt any houses they sell, which as evil plans go is pretty weak sauce) .
Esta crítica foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Críticos do LibraryThing.Rovens’ story of just how bad selling your house can go is a pretty mild-mannered horror. One would expect evil spirits breaking into our world would at least bring a chill up the spine, but not here. The characters were pretty cookie-cutter, without any growth, and in a couple of occasions just out and out stereotypes. So honestly, I’ll stick with Grady Hendrix.
Esta crítica foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Críticos do LibraryThing.This is a suspenseful novel, with an edge of horror. Ed, our main character, is a retired grain operator in a small town who decides, with the encouragement of his wife, to start dabbling in real estate. He signs with an agency that's new in town, and his first clients are a lesbian couple. Weird things are happening in the house, and Ed's wife, Alma, starts expressing very strong opinions about homosexuality.
The novel moves very quickly- I finished it in a couple hours- and the characters are well developed, for the most part. As a reader, I was left with lots of questions, which may have been intentional. The moral and ethical quandries of our main character are things many of us face, and the difficulties he faces in light of those are relevant to current situations.… (mais)
