August 2016 Group Read - The Beast of Barcroft

[Kenneth]

The Beast of Barcroft won our Group Read poll by one vote! (Or should I say a whisker?) We'll be starting it this weekend, Saturday August 6th and this is where we'll be discussing it. Please use spoiler tags and chapter tags. Happy reading, fellow Gore & Mores!

Yay!!! Richard Severance and Dr. Standingcloud were my favorite characters. The MCs were a little dull, and I may have wanted to slap the lesbian doormat in the shitty relationship, but overall I enjoyed this story and the sequel!

[Emma]

Just made a start on this. It's quite short. Really enjoying it so far!

[D20]

Sounds like it might be good. I'll get a start today.

[Emma]

It's actually very funny!

[Emma]

Wow, this author knows how to launch a surprise! This is absolutely excellent!

[D20]

I got distracted yesterday, will try again today.

[Kenneth]

Does anyone else love the dialogue in this story too? To me, it has shades of Tarantino.

[Emma]

I agree. I also think the author must be a similar age to me because some of the references would be easy to miss...it's fast and smart

[D20]

Hm. Mixed feelings. The idea is good but the writing itself isn't grabbing me.

[Jennifer]

Ditto D20. The writing is a bit odd. Will keep going

[Jennifer]

I'm sorry, but I had to bail out. I'm really fussy when it comes to humour (I'll admit to having no sense of humour) and this book was trying to be funny when it wasn't appropriate.

The story seemed quite interesting, but I just couldn't force myself through it.

Hope you all liked it though!

[D20]

I bailed too. Just wasn't for me.
