Book Club review

There's more to this story than the description's letting on.

I honestly don't think this fits the "horror" genre. Yes, there are numerous scenes which can be considered scary but after reading a few chapters you'll realize that the story is revolving around a mystery and not so much focused on trying to scare its readers, which is supposed to be the main goal of a horror story. I'd also like to reitarte the other review when he/she said that it gave him a sort of "The ring/the grudge" feel because I also experienced that. I'm an avid fan of The Ring series and aside from this book's "long haired scary girl popping out of sth" factor that made it resemble The Ring, the ending in which the male main character was just being used also gave off that feel since it wasn't a happy ending and his efforts were in vain.

Now this story was fairly short and must be finished in one sitting. Yes, 'must'. Not 'can', must. This is because you are forced to keep going once questions start to arise. As the story progresses so do the number of questions you start to have and you're left to wonder if the author, with only a few chapters left, will be able to execute the ending in such a way that all questions are thoroughly explained and not just blurted out in a "half-assed" manner because of lack of planning and or due to the overly complicated story he was trying to build up. To my relief, the author was in fact able to answer the VITAL questions. I enjoyed the story but was left a little bit unsatisfied because there were still key points that have yet to be answered. Some questions if not answered, were tackled so quickly that it didn't really give the audience enough time to feel or connect with the situation. I would have given it a 9 or possibly a 10 if the plot twist, as well as the tiny details, had been executed in a much more profound manner.

All in all, Book Club is worth a read for those with a curious mind; but if you're looking for something to test your courage, this manhwa might not satisfy your "craving" enough. (Which was in my case, hence the score of 8)

I invite you all to give it a shot though!
