Review of 'Uzumaki' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

4/5

This was the first visual novel/manga I’ve ever read and I really enjoyed it! I do think the first half of the book was much better than the later half, I just liked the individual strange stories more than when it all started converging together by the end. But overall it was solid.

There were some truly horrifying scenes in this book, like things that will probably haunt my dreams for a while. The art style really sold the atmosphere and feeling of dread throughout and the author did not hold back with all of the truly messed up ways people ended up dying. It was a great read and I might have to start picking up a few more visual novels in the future.
