why are the 16 year olds and the 14 year old more useful than the adults

oh no an armed man in a police chase is shooting at the police helicopter. thank god “Flash” is there to sprint out of the safety of his home and run at the armed man with no plan or weapon. ik ik he’s running on instinct, trying to protect his cursed family, and military ptsd. but reading that i was just like bitch be so fr

so after being assaulted by crazy, Karen immediately asked her bf to make love to her. (said no woman ever after being SAed). completely tarnishing the ability to collect DNA in a 🍇 kit. and then she mostly moves on, talking about the situation very matter-of-factly. don’t get me wrong, i don’t WANT Karen to be super traumatized. it’s a very disturbing situation obv. but the reaction is so bizarre

uhh tf. weird ass response to the situation

oop something eventful is happening (halfway through book)

just kill them all at this point

snooze fest so far. the dialogue isn’t for me. couldn’t be more clear it was written by a 40 something year old man in the 1980s. i hope it picks up, i always hear great things about richard laymon.
hoping the dad from the second family dies first so he can stop being overly invested in his son getting with julie and talking about how hot she is (she’s 16). or Benny so i can stop reading his annoying dialogue.

Loving it
