Book Review: Scuttle, part 3
Scuttle by Barnaby Walker, part 3
The supremely annoying stepfather exits. The writing is pretentious. The dad’s creepy grooming of the horrific stepfather is ignored. Every character sounds like a 30something dudebro. Nothing makes sense. Aliens are behind it all apparently. This rips off ‘Under The Dome’ in a way. This was so badly written and illogical. I’ve read self published 💩 and fanfic better than this! I’ve read ‘The Sentinel’ fanfic that was better written! This was dross, dreck and 💩💩💩💩💩.
Best Lines:
“Very soon you would have tried to hurt us."
“No loss to the world.”
“We are the ant hill.”
“Find callous joy in it.”
Nothing would ever be the same again.”
“There is not one piece of mercy or forgiveness within them. And they will not stop.”
“Why had dad brought him into our lives?”
“Everything was underpinned by one thing: my resentment and frustration that Mattias was even here in the first place, pushing himself in.”
