APOCOLYPSE 2020- A new era. Month 1 of meeting via chat room- what has this world become!!

Discussion by Zoom:

Meriah- Thought it was alright. I didn’t really want to pick it up most of the time. Overall it was just err. Would not recommend. 3/5
Julie- Hated it! Boring! Hope it makes a better movie then a book. Would never recommend! 2/5
Jocelyn- I absolutely hated it. The pace was so slow. I do feel like the author was trying to make it seem like a Hitchcock movie. Could have been cool but wasn’t. Would not recommend. 1.5/5
Maren- I loved it! I related to the book with this COVID lockdown. Quick read, really fun. Would recommend for a beach read. 4/5
Ali- Hated it. Stupidest book ever. Girl on the Train all over again. Felt I had to read it just to get it over with. Don’t care to see the movie. Would not recommend. 2/5

Favorite Characters:
Meriah- Mr. Little and David
Julie- Detective Little
Jocelyn- Ethen and Ed
Maren- Ed
Ali- Detective Little and Bina
