 "I don't mean to be rude," I said, "but what are you people?" 
 "We're peculiar," he replied, sounding a bit puzzled. "Aren't you?" 
 "I don't know. I don't think so." 
 There is one thing that I know for sure: Jacob is one of the 
 most annoying, boring, crybaby characters 
 I've ever met. He could be called a peculiar just for his 
 sedative skills, 
 since while reading this book I was continuously dozing off. He spent more or less all the time complaining (bu hu, no one tells him the truth and everybody treats him like a freak) and having depressing thoughts. 
 You know that horrible moment when you're aware that the main idea is original or at least full of potential, but the way it is developed is a huge, huge disaster? Well, here's the perfect example. 
 Everything was just so... plain. 
 The characters, the style. I was expecting at least a bit of horror, suspance, some kind of absurd and fascinating atmosphere, but I found nothing. It was just impossible for me to get involved. The only thing I wanted was finishing it and begin another book hoping for a better story. 
 Just to make you understand the situation, I wasn't able to come to love a single character, not even one. They can also be peculiar, but there's nothing special about them, since there is no characterization. And how can you fall in love with someone if you know nothing about him/her? 
 If I have to say what I enjoyed, I would probably choose the photos, because they really are a bit creepy if you have a close look. However if they're not accompanied by a good story they are almost useless.
