![]() ![]() Seriously.drop that character from the book and you lose nothing. Audrey's boss is given a lot of time on the page, and does nothing to move the plot forward. Or you could keep jumping to other characters who have very little to do with that plot. Spend more than half of the novel away from the haunted building. Woman moves into creepy building with horrible history, and then creepy things begin to happen to her. It drives you there while delicately spoon feeding you everything it thinks you need, and a lot of things you don't. All I do know is that the book doesn't just hold the reader's hand. Maybe they don't teach that there at Columbia. ![]() Langan apparently made it all the way through the Masters Program at Columbia without picking that up. One of the primary mantras of fiction writing is to show, not tell. That being said, the only reason I can think she plotted and peopled this book with the characters she did was that she has an intense, burning hatred of people who read. She's a thrice published author, and that must mean that she knows how to write well enough. The next was whether or not the smoke alarms in my building would go off if I did to this book what I really wanted to.Īudrey's Door is the third novel by Ms. Whether I wanted to continue living in a world where this book can be published was the biggest question in my mind. Well.I had to take a moment after reading this book to think about things. ![]()
