Review: House "Has A Bizarre, Creepy Feel...Didn't Make Sense"

Book review: The House with a Clock in its Walls

I didn’t care for the dark tones in this book. The whole setup has a bizarre, creepy feel. Yes, Uncle Jonathan and Mrs. Zimmerman are good wizards, but they are so odd. But I never warmed to them (or any other character). They have strange personalities and do odd, random things. I never felt I had a handle on who they are or why they did what they did. They didn’t make sense. And some plot events, like the time the three are chased in their car in the middle of the night, are never explained. What was that all about, anyway?
