harbour

Harbour by John Ajvide Lindqvist

..hmm..

almost 16 hours long, slow, dark, brooding and boring.

The sea, the sea all about the sea, a couple boring ghosts, annoying protagonist, twists and turns with all the energy of a non existent speed breaker..placid, dull and well, not something you'd want to read or hear to get spooked. 

Plot was mostly back and forth. A few memorable incidents that had the entire story revolving around it, and every time it looked like there might be something exciting, the narrative watered it down to something not all that exciting.

All in all it was alright.. I mean I'm all about long, dark, brooding narratives and visuals and patient building up, but it never really built up into something unusually phenomenal.

You can read it but chances are if you put the book down, you might not want to pick it up again, or maybe you'd end up glancing through pages, flipping to catch anything fun.

was it bad? not entirely.

Just that it was too much talking, thinking, wondering, dreaming, speculation..
