Negative Positive
Title: Not good.
Review: The characters are well drawn and sympathetic but that's the only good thing I can say about this. The supernatural horror that haunts the family is all powerful so its a bit like watching Final Destination but without the laughs....you just watch helplessly as people die in various gruesome ways. I think the author was trying for a Fall of the House of Usher sense of doom but it never really comes across. There is no explaination given why the horror is so powerful. There's a lot of heavy handed preaching about the evils of slavery. Lastly the main character is pretty spineless and doesn't make one effective move or plan.
Is the review positive or negative?
