Review of 'The Other' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
I don't read much horror (on purpose anyway), but it was Halloween. This story is pretty well done. It seemed to labor under my familiarity with the evil child genre - including at least one movie. In horror books one must suspend ones disbelief, of course, and the author should help out. While the characters in this novel were wringing their hands over the suspected or real actions of the protagonist, I fear that I might have just kicked his little ass.
