2.5 stars rounded up.I am fairly certain this is the last Lisa McMann's book I will ever read. Both Gone and Cryer's Cross just don't have the emotional pull of her first 2 novels.If you read the author's books before, you are familiar with her writing style - 3rd person present tense narration. In theory, it should work wonders for this story, because: 1) this is, supposedly, a mystery and 2) the main character, Kendall, has OCD. Too bad the mystery is introduced in the beginning, whenFirst of all, I need to point out that this is NOT a dystopia. The reason I picked the book up was because I had seen it described thus somewhere, but it isn't. Cryer's Cross is actually more of a psychological thriller/fantasy/horror story. I wish it had been a dystopia.Last year, I read Lisa McMann's Wake Trilogy, which I sort of liked at first, but later came to almost abhor. Her writing drove me crazy. It's so incredibly fragmented. Everyone told me that the writing was matched to Janie's
Holy wow. Folks, I dont say this a lot. But WOW! By nature, I am a very fast reader and this is one book I BLEW through. I mean I sat down and read this puppy in like five hours. Or less. I took some breaks.What started out as a pretty light-hearted story, took a turn for the dark and creepy and I was intrigued every step of the way. Even with the main character, OCD-suffering Kendall and how she copes with her best friend, Nico suddenly vanishing. Then enter stoically quiet Jacián into the mix
Cryers Cross. Its a book I picked up at the book story because it was in the bargain section and someone said it was eerie, gripping yadda yadda yadda. Im not too sure why but I trusted this person, probably because I hadnt read a good mystery/thriller in a while. I should have known better. I should have seen through Cryers Crosss (tee hee, that looks funny) guise. Somehow, absorbed in false hope, a book called Cryers Cross with a stupid looking desk on the cover got me to buy it. It took
Haunting, and just plain scary, McMann gives you chills as her story unfolds.I am a fan of Lisa McManns previous series and I was wondering how Cryers Cross would compare. Holy Ass-kicking Batman! Lisas story of Cryers Cross is creepy, its haunting, and most of all it is superbly addicting. The tension builds with every page and only in the last quarter of the book does McMann begin to even give you a hint of what is going down in this sleepy little town. Its a race to the finish, a disturbing
I'm pretty sure there will be spoilers in this review. I'm not so sure yet. Hey!!! I can use the new spoiler button feature! I'm excited now. This was my first Lisa McMann novel. I want to read her Wake series, but someone stole them from the library. *shakes fist at sky* So I received a copy of this from SImon & Schuster's Galley Grab and I let out a big ole Napoleon Dynamite "Yehsssss". Unfortunately, from what I read of other reviews, this wasn't McMann's best. This is about Kendall
Rating 2.5 starsFirst I have to thank one of my GR pallies for lending this to me! She is the greatest =)Okay so I was really excited to read this and now that I have I am completely disappointed. After Gone I was hoping Lisa McMann would make a strong come back, but unfortunately this one falls really flat. The mystery feels like a cross between Stephen Kings Christine and Wes Cravens The Village. The paranormal aspect that was thrown at the end is very laugh worthy, it is a desk filled with
