Richard Matheson: A Stir of Echoes

Hi everyone

I finished A Stir of Echoes by Richard Matheson and I read this on my e-reader.

"Tom Wallace lived an ordinary life, until a chance event awakened psychic abilities he never knew he possessed. Now he's hearing the private thoughts of the people around him-and learning shocking secrets he never wanted to know. But as Tom's existence becomes a waking nightmare, even greater jolts are in store as he becomes the unwilling recipient of a compelling message from beyond the grave!"

Unfortunately, this book was utterly boring. The writing, the story, the characters, ... none of it grabbed me. It was such a struggle to get through, and I was relieved it was only 228 pages. If it had been any longer, I don’t think I would have finished it.

I hate writing negative reviews, but this one just didn’t work for me. It felt flat, and I never connected with the characters or the plot. Maybe it’s just not my kind of story, but I was really disappointed in this story.

Have you read A Stir of Echoes? Did you feel the same way, or did it work better for you? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Happy reading!
