Book Reviews of Julia
Book Review: Anticlimatic
Summary: 2 Stars
I really don't understand the comparisons to "Rosmary's Baby", "Julia" lacked the wit,intrigue and mystery that RB did and had one of the most anticlimatic endings I've read in a long time. What I found to be true about this book is that the favorable reviews do a better job of describing the intent than the book itself. By the end you are left wondering WHY the ghost was so evil when it was alive. What was it about it's personality that made it want to continue to live to haunt others. Well when you find out these answers , you are left disappointed especially after the build up of the first 150 pages. The novel Ringu did a 100% better job of letting you know the horror behind the supernatural being. This novel really left it up to the reader to imagine those circumstances. This is not one of Straubs best.
