Review of 'The Final Girl Support Group' on 'Goodreads'

1 star

I guess there’s a theme. The title alone indicates as much. Hendrix does try to engage with the critical theory he borrowed, but I’m not convinced he understood it. The plot is as ridiculous as the slasher flicks the book pays homage to throughout so if you’re into that sort of thing, I guess it’s fine, but those movies aren’t known for their plot really are they? So no score there either. I guess if you’ve never bothered to look into critical theory, it’s not a bad introduction. That’s the only even remotely good thing I have to say about it.
