William

Average rating3.6
As soon as the robotic doll came pedalling along on its little bicycle, I knew this book was going to creep me out. I hate dolls, you see. The robot dog I could handle because I love dogs, but this chappie on the bicycle, no thanks. I half expected him to say “Let's play a game”.
So there we have it, I hadn't met William yet, and already I was creeped out. Things could only get better, right? Well, yes as it happens. The book may be a bit slow to get going, but it's worth sticking with. Some of the characters (the human ones, that is) are a tad annoying, but again, it's worth sticking with it, particularly for that twist at the end.
All in all, William makes for super creepy reading, perfect for Halloween.

Very suspenseful and smart! My jaw physically opened when the twist hit! It takes a lot for a book to make me feel creepy; however, this one got me good! 5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!
