Review of "Naomi's Room" on 'Goodreads'

1 star

Some of the prose at the beginning was beautiful, but honestly it became grating by halfway and then lost all its power by the last quarter.

The suspense and atmosphere had no payoff for me; it felt like there was such a big disconnect between the fear he talked about and what was actually happening. I understand what it was doing, I just don’t think it worked and I didn’t care about the protagonist at all. It ended up a boring, violently misogynistic mess and was such a disappointment.
