My Bookish Life Book Review: 77 Shadow Street

      Title: 77 Shadow Street
      Author: Dean Koontz
      Genre: Horror/Sci-to
       Pages: 430 roughly
       Rating: 2.5

    Synopsis: I am the One , the all and only. I live in the Pendleton as surely as I live everywhere. I am the Pendleton's history and it's destiny. The building is my place of conception, my monument, my killing ground... The Pendleton stands on the summit of Shadow Hill at the highest point of an old heartland city, a Gilded age palace built in the late 1800s as a tycoons dream home. Almost from the beginning, it's grandeur has been scared by episodes of madness, suicide, mass murder and whispers of things far worse.

        My thoughts on the book: I'm going to be honest I couldn't finish it . Since I was reading it for my blog I really did try to finish because I did not want to do this. I have made it to within 50 pages of the end and I just don't care about how it's going to end and can't bring myself to pick it up anymore.

      The first bit was ok but, then it got repetitive. About midway through it ran out of steam fast. I think one of the things it majority suffers from is being way to long. A lot of the story feels like filler to me.

        I usually like Dean Koontz so I didn't want to give him a review this bad but there is no way around it. I don't like not finishing books especially if it's for my blog but, this one just feels like a waste. For those reasons I give it a 2.5.
