Foxlowe

I enjoy stories about cults and communes, and this one was no exception. I was glued to it from the first page. However, while it was good, it definitely could have been a lot better. It was quite confusing at times, and many of my questions were left unanswered. A lot of this could be explained by the fact that Green was narrating, and as she didn't know, neither did I. But some things just seemed intentionally left out or were vaguely alluded to and never brought up again. There were also a few elements that felt contrived, especially in part two. However, the characters were interesting, and the plot was eerily compelling from beginning to end. The end itself was unexpected and very well done. I would still recommend Foxlowe if you enjoy this type of book, though I wouldn't set your expectations particularly high.

PS - Dear Half Price Books: You really shouldn't have shelved this one in the children's section, LOL.

Creepy and thought provoking, but lacking in real story telling. Which is interesting because she talks about telling stories a lot in this book.

We're just kind of plopped down in the middle of a story, trying to figure out what is going on. There are so many characters, but the only ones we really get to know are Blue, Green and Freya. But relationships are confusing and the ragged story telling was distracting.

Atmospheric. Gothic. Enchanting. Wonderful.
