This book was… frustrating. Like almost all books over 400 pages, it was too long. Maybe by 50 pages. I really didn’t love the middle, where the story takes a sort of odd turn and where it seems the book could have just ended. The (real) ending slightly won me back, and I’d recommend to horror fans.

I really liked this book. I was in a reading slump and this book got me out of it!!!! I would definitely recommend this book, not only spooky but how important family is.

Do not waste your time or money. I returned it without completing it. Seriously a nonsense plot, was looking forward to it as I spent 30 years in Real Estate. Nothing to do with anything but puppets and a lying family.

I enjoyed this book, I found parts to be scary and some parts were very funny too. I’m definitely afraid of dolls now and I don’t want to be no where near them! Pupkin will be living in side my head rent free for a while too! Lol smh

I stayed till end but book dragged. Grady is a great writer and story was fun but i thought it was over around page 400. It had another 100 pages! Felt like multiple endings could have been combined

This is the best book I’ve read so far this year!

I really liked Grady Hendrix’s How to sell a haunted house. This is the second book that I read by the author. The themes of grief , horror and family weaved together into a haunting tale. I will admit that I had to take a break before I finished it. The puppet was a bit scarier than I imagined but that is a testament to Hendrix’s writing. Can’t wait to read his next book.

This book is so ridiculous I often felt on the verge of laughing but the characters are well written and even though I found the subject to be so ridiculous it also had a very real aspect to it. The humanity and complex emotions/relationships were woven into a theatric and insane story that made the whole book work. And, it worked well. A lot happened and just when it started to feel like it would become too much, it didn’t. I didn’t expect to feel sad. I didn’t expect to feel happy or concerned. I didn’t expect to care. As crazy as I feel writing this, I am. I don’t even care for horror books and I’m shocked to rate this book at 5 out of 5. It’s really, really good.

Decent story

No suspense just crazy
