Some Minor Flaws

WARNING: THERE ARE SOME MINOR SPOILERS IN THIS REVIEW, BUT THEY ARE NOT MAJOR AND WILL NOT EFFECT YOUR ENJOYMENT OF THIS BOOK. Overall I liked this book. The writing was good and it had a good plot with nice character development, but there were a few flaws. For example, the title, What Lives In The Woods, gives the impression that there will be bad things in the woods. But there is nothing in the woods (other than a raccoon and some imaginary beasts), and the main character never even steps foot in the woods. The other flaw is that it is advertised as a scary story, and it is, until the end of it. In most scary stories, the characters barely escape from whatever evil it trying to take them, and usually at a cost. This book, however, blows off the big evil spirit that is haunting the main characters, and portrays the events as a big misunderstanding. The evil spirit actually turns out to be nice. That element of the book kind of takes away the scary part, in my opinion.
