Mrs. God: A Novel Audiobook (Unabridged)

" I really wanted to like this ghost story. The premise is great: haunted house in England with an impressive literary heritage and a creepy, family with a deep, dark secret. Ooooh...not so much. Color me disappointed. "

" Did not really care for this book. I thought it was a little hard to follow. "

" There's a reason it was written in 1990 and not published...... "

" Peter Straub once wrote the introduction to a collection of Robert Aickman stories and noted that no writer, however much he enjoyed Aickman, should ever attempt to write a story in his style. In this short novel Straub broke his own rule and, in doing so, proved that rule. In the beginning the book has a fairly decent mood to it. However, the climax is extremely grotesque and over-baked. A nasty, repulsive piece of work. "

" Large parts of the book were so bad that I had to quickly skim over them which caused me to lose track of what was going on; however I was never tempted to go back over any page. Just an awful book "

" So confused at the end of this tale. What happened or is the main character just insane? Whose heads did he cut off? "

" All I can say is why? Why did I waste my time reading this? I have no words for it. "

" Started out strong, but then it kind of fell apart. At least it was short. "

" Still trying to get my head around this one...and maybe not in the "good" way. "

" I had high hopes when I began reading this but by the end I was confused. I felt that too many unrelated things occurred. I have tried finding an explanation to the story online, with no luck. Quite forgettable. "

" Difficult to follow and very bizarre. "

" I need someone to tell me what this was about- no scary and I don't get it. "

" Wish I hadn't wasted my time! "

" Whattttt?? I don't get it!!! "

" Muddled, arduous, murky, and uninspired. Thankfully, short. "

" A very atmospheric ghost story, perfect for a hot summer night. How you like the ending and the "hero", professor Standish, will determine whether you like the book. "

" I guess I'm just not cut out to read this sort of book. All I could think, once I'd reached the end, was "WTF did I just read?" "

" This the 2nd Straub book I have read in the past week - the 1st being The Dark Matter - they were both horrible! My god I wished Mrs. God would just end - the entire book can be summed up with WTF!? "

" Definitely not what I expected...I love a good ghost story, and this wasn't a good one. It had some good elements, but it wasn't scary, suspenseful, or mysterious for me. Now I know why it was on the clearance shelf! "
