Title: Way too long, way too dull
Review: I don't think Kostova is a terrible writer like some of the reviewers on this page but she could certainly use a good editor to winnow this behemoth down to a reasonable length. The endless descriptions of the landscape had me skimming several pages at a time and she kept interupting the narrative flow with this tedious side story about the main character's daughter searching for her father. She kept telling us how the characters were filled with dread and horror but as a reader, I certainly never experienced either emotion. Stop telling us it's scary and start scaring us. She obviously wanted to write a horror story with literary pretensions but literary or not, horror is supposed to scare you. This book just bored me.
