In general I do not like horror and I probably will not read this but I so enjoy how you talk about books and analyze them. It has helped me become a better reader and to know which horror books I would enjoy reading (much to my surprise).
I read this back in 2018, then I checked out The Shuddering and Within These Walls. All of them were finished in about two or three days because of how they captivated me. Ania Ahlborn is another of my most favorite writers. 🖤
after trying unsuccessfully to finish that terrifying first scene three times already, I have been just waiting for your review before giving it one more try - and once again your warning makes me shiver AND crazily curious: you are awesome! 👀
I have had this in eBook format on my Kindle for years now. I don't know why I haven't gotten around to watching it before now. Probably something to do with the ever-increasing, never completed TBR. Might have to bump this one closer to the top after listening to this review. Thanks for the heads up! 👍
You are absolutely right about this being one of the most popular horror books of late. I read it last year, and I thought it was pretty boring with an overly simplistic writing style until the third act, which was genuinely fantastic and surprising. The final couple of pages are terrific in particular. I get why the book is beloved, and I'm happy to keep it in my library, but not sure Ahlborn is an author for me in general. Thanks for another horror video Willow!
Brother is one of my favorite books I read last year...I don't know how I feel by the end of the book. I keep flip flopping on weather or not it was a good ending that fits it's tone, especially around it's construct around it's themes around hope, revenge, and envy. I love it so much.
As a hillbilly trans woman from the Wisconsin backwoods I've had people make Ed gein n silence of the lambs jokes about me . I've always been treated different for being who I am n this brand of horror really helps me cope . Also my name is misty nowadays so I'm really excited to read this book n get to know that person
Just finished it and I mean I LITERALLY just finished it. Jumped onto UA-cam to look at reviews and found this vid. The book blew me away. Absolutely fantastic
Thanks. It’s never, ever my intention to spoil anything (I’m not a knob) and I’m always aware of spoilers. But I can’t anticipate how everyone will react. I have to get to a point where I say to myself, “If they’re annoyed, that’s their deal.”

That opening chapter is brutal, but if you can get through it (no shame if you can’t) you’ll have an amazing time :)

I read Brother back in 2018 and loved it! It was so disturbing and felt like a character study to me. Great review
Added to my list, thank you Willow
Aw thank you so much :)
Thank you for another great review. 😊

Hooray!
Excellent review I need to read this
Aaand now I too, want to read it! 😆😆😆 Willow has a way of making these books explains that makes you, at least want to check them out. 😁
Just finished it and I mean I LITERALLY just finished it. Jumped onto UA-cam to look at reviews and found this vid. The book blew me away. Absolutely fantastic
I swear that description of the book reminds me so much of the movie The Hamiltons, sign me up!
I’d never heard of that but I definitely want to track it down now!
I will need to check this out!
All her books are good!
It's excellent!
Too many spoilers.
Wow, cheers. Have a nice day.
Then maybe don't watch a video about it. Details will always be mentioned.
