![]() ![]() Many readers might be disappointed by that. It leans on the creatures and intrigue of an old mansion and mysterious, handsome archetype a little more than necessary. The first half of the book rambles through the plot. ![]() I’ve heard What Big Teeth described as overtly odd, and it’s true. As the story unraveled, things went from imaginative to weird. I haven’t read a book with such unique creatures in a very, very long time. What Big Teeth gets points for creativity. ![]() It’s a serious challenge to come up with something unique in this over-saturated, over-stimulating YA speculative market, but Rose Szabo pulled it off. The monsters were incredible, dare I say, unique. Parts of the writing hooked me deep enough to stay. Don’t get me wrong, What BIG TEETH isn’t the slowest book I’ve ever read, and it wasn’t slow enough for me to put down. Unfortunately, my intrigue waned with the rather slow beginning. It was the first Horror book I read in my line up. But when I saw the the faux rip revealing wolfish fangs above the words What BIG TEETH, I have to admit, I fell prey to the marketing. I’ve never been the type that picks a book because of the title and cover. Do I love this latest YA horror because it’s good, or because I adore a good fright? Only way I can know it to read six horror stories in a row. Is that cabernet really delicious, or do I just like Cabernet? Same goes for books. ![]()
