Niceville

Niceville - Carsten Stroud I was excited to read Niceville because I thought the synopsis sounded very interesting. About a quarter of the way into the book, I wasn't so excited anymore. Niceville was a disappointment to me. It think it tried to be too many things at once. The ghost story was really cool and had it been the main focal point of the story, I would have liked it a lot more. For me, there were too many characters to keep track of as well as too many points of view. The bank robbery really had nothing to do with the ghost story part, so it made the book very disjointed to me. The ending was just in a word, cheesy. I'll be honest, I'm not even sure why I finished the book. I think I wanted to see how the ghost story ended.

This book is being compared to be Stephen King-like...for me, not so much. I'm not sure I would recommend this title.
