Let's just say the pictures were certainly strange...

Ambiance: mysterious · tense
Rythme: medium-paced
Focus: character-driven
The writing was pretty simplistic but I thought it was a fun read and enjoyed the puzzle picture aspect of the story. Not very scary book, more of a mystery book. It was semi predictable at parts but I'd recommend it for a nice short read and definitely do a physical copy, not audiobook if you can.

INCREDIBLE???????It was simply MAJESTIC how every little detail of the story fit together so perfectly, and at the same time made no sense at all. Absolutely mind-blowing, I loved it.
