Mini Review: What a great way to start the year! Or, more negatively, it's all downhill from here! This is Unwind but without the abortion debate.

Rating: Three reluctant stars
Reason for reading: Misconception
Mini Review: I thought this was a horror novel, but it turned out to be a modern classic trying to actually disturb you. I hated every minute of it, but it was very high-quality writing.

Reason for reading: Premise
Mini Review: Malerman blows his premise and spends the whole book just telling you to feel scared, but it culminates in a really scary scene, so I gave it an extra star.
