Been listening to We Used to Live Here by Marcus Kliewer

 

Hello there Bookies,

I've been working on audiobooks again. I just don't have the focus to actually read a book, so listening it is. Now this book gets crazy. I'm not sure what to tell you about it. It becomes a bit of a fever dream or the main character isn't reliable. The book starts out okay but it gets crazy as our main character falls into madness. Is it all really happening? Or, is she really going crazy? I'm about three fourths through the book and I still don't have an answer. This will probably be the only post I will do about this book because I want you to read it as well. I wouldn't say that I love this book. It's a little too slow for me. It will probably get three out of five stars. I liked it, but didn't love it. And, to think that this whole madness in this book started when a family of strangers ended up at our main character's house stating that they used to live there and wanted to look around. Then things just hit the fan and went wild. The book does have breaks in the story that I'm not sure how it relates to the story. They are like documents or interviews. I'm not sure if they are about the house or not. I think that is why I'm confused with this book as well. Maybe I'm being nice with giving this book three out of five stars. I'm sure if I really sit and think about it, this book would probably get a lower score. Who knows? Anyway I do recommend this book. It has a good story line, but I think it would be better and maybe a little bit shorter if we didn't have those breaks in the story.

So until next time....
