{May 2022} Eye Bleach

{May 2022 - Originally published on Goodreads} {2022 Reading Challenge: book 30/40}

★ (1/5)

Author: Paul E. Creasy Pages: 347 Main genre: Horror (not really) Serial?: Standalone Release date: 2018

🚨🚨Spoilers ahead🚨🚨 (not that you should care, this book is terrible and I advise avoiding it)

I'm honestly surprised this book has so many good reviews, it was a real struggle to finish it. What stood out, among other issues:

- The story is only barely related to the blurb - UVid is just an excuse to take the main character out of NY and to tell the reader about her controversial methods, and it stops being relevant right after.

- Dialogue is unrealistic and unnecessarily long-winded - when people chat it's usually not a monologue with quick quips from the other person that only serve as footholds to continue the rant. There's also something to say about how people actually talk to strangers - a priest who is probably in his 60s enters a crystal & ¿wicca? shop and the clerk proceeds to tell him in a husky tone about the things she could do to him, and about the shop being his "competition". Nobody talks like that.

- Asides from Sylvia, who has some depth, all other characters are one-dimensional cardboard cutouts with unrealistic dialogue. I.e. the horny goth coworker who is written like a complete caricature - a mix of media & prejudices, like the author saw The Craft's trailer once. While doing something else. During a thunderstorm. Or the mexican pastor who eats, I kid you not, burritos and churros. Or the idiot brosky gamer boss who cheats on his girlfriend and has the character depth of a kiddie pool. I could go on and on but you get the point.

- Sylvia's "controversial method" wouldn't be out of place in a fantasy book as a magic power. Basically, she can help the person lock memories deep inside their subconscious mind. Another psychologist who is a family friend and treated her during her childhood (don't ask me to remember the name) can also rewrite the subject's entire memory, creating all childhood memories for a 10-year-old Sylvia and entirely fabricating love for her new adoptive parents. I think that if this actually existed and worked as well as it does in the book, the academia would be in upheaval, not just consider it a fringe and discredited method.

- I had to skip at least two entire conversations - Sylvia & the pastor and the two cops near the end- because it was basically the author Bible-thumping. I don't mind reading about Christianity (hell, I read the entire Caballo de Troya series and loved it) but (1) that's not what I came for and (2) the dialogue is obviously a thinly veiled attempt by the author to show how atheism is wrong and bad. If anything, this had the opposite effect and made me dislike pretty much everyone, from the Satanists to the priest & his police altar boys.

If the book's blurb was honest I would have never read this book, and this review (and the nagging feeling of wasted time) could have been avoided.
