The Cabin in the Woods by Tim Lebbon

TITLE:  The Cabin in the Woods
AUTHOR:  Lebbon, Tim
GENRE:  Fiction/Horror
DATES READ:  7/1/2012 - 7/3/2012
MY RATING:  2/5

The plot of this book was definitely unique but the twist at the end of it was really far-fetched.  I figured with all of the set-up throughout the novel, that it would make a little more sense.  The ending was definitely milk toast and difficult to believe.

All of the main characters were one-note but I suppose it's a horror novel/film.  You shouldn't really care about character development when they're meant to die.

Toward the end of the story, it got really confusing.  When I began reading, I really liked the plot and pace.  But it's all about the execution of the storytelling (pardon the pun!), and it was really muttled.  Good idea overall, but absolutely over-explained.  Kind of like this blog entry...

I'm sure it was a great horror flick.  But I think I'll pass until I forget the ending.
