I loved all of the stuff in this book that was about learning about the dawn raids and the Polynesian Panthers and just sort of that part of Sophia's life. I think a lot of this book came off as very, very dry.

There was a lot that worked about "From Below", I do think that it could have been shorter. I still truly believe that you could have cut a good 50-100 pages out of that book and it would not have been worse for it.
It's not a DNF, it's not that I'm not going to read it or not come back to it, but I feel like it really undercut itself and its scariness factor in, like, the second chapter? I don't know, it just- it rubbed me the wrong way and because of it I couldn't get into this book, which is why I wind up picking up "From Below".
I will say I really, really liked it. It was a really good, like, slasher in that I didn't spend a lot of time being mad at the characters for the choices they were making?
