 Thanks for checking out this book review this horror book review because that's pretty much all I've been doing Although if there are some other types of books that you really want me to do some reviews on please do that and Continuing with what I've been doing. I did Josh Malerman's Bird Box then I did his black mad wheel and now I just finished this gem Unbury carol So I'm a fan of this. I really do like this book and there's a lot to kind of unpack about it I don't want to make this a super long video about it But I'm gonna kind of go over a few things what I do like about this and there's a little bit that I didn't really like But for the most part, I think this is a really good book. I really really enjoyed it It's my second favorite of the Malerman books granted. I've only read now three of his books Like I said, you can check out the reviews of the other ones but I think I still like bird box the most but this is a pretty close second and Black mad wheels like way behind that like even though it's third place It's like further back in my opinion because I don't really like that book But you can check out my review for that because it is available for both of them really so unbury carol the concept behind this is it's a woman and What I'm gonna tell you here is kind of spoilers, but it's not really because it's right up front in the book It happens like immediately pretty much so this is a woman who has This weird condition where it's like she goes into the super coma where people think she's dead and she can still see and hear what's going on around her but She can't get out of it and it's kind of like an undetermined amount of time that it will take for her to kind of Come back to life or you know come out of this gigantic coma and it's been happening throughout her life But she doesn't share this information with a lot of people so her husband Isn't necessarily a great person and she's going to be Buried that's why it's unburied carol. She's gonna be buried alive basically is a bad situation so what ends up happening and This isn't like a big thing. It's someone already knows about her condition and is kind of tipped off to the fact that she's gonna be buried alive And so this person that is on this journey to go get to her and say for basically so It's kind of this but then there are other people who are involved in the story and it's kind of this interesting thing We're like you as you're reading you kind of have a map in your mind Kind of like when people are watching Game of Thrones and they have this map in their mind I'm like, okay, this person's here and this person's here then this person's here this person So it's there's kind of a bit of that that goes on while you're reading this book We're like someone's like here and they're like coming. They're like, oh, I'm coming for you I'm coming for you, but then there's someone over here and they may have other plans And then there's someone down here doing something and someone over here doing something And it's kind of like it feels like as you're reading everything's converging and it's gonna be some big kind of showdown In the end and showdown is kind of a good way to put it because the setting of this and this is one of The cool things about this that really hooked me on the book initially the setting of this book is Like Wild West It's that time period. It's that type of setting where you have outlaws. You have people riding around on horses sick shooters all that jazz and It's a cool setting and the other thing is I don't I feel like there aren't that many stories especially horror stories that are done with a setting like that and I'm a sucker for Watching a movie or reading a book or whatever that's horror related That has an interesting setting an interesting environment because so many times I feel like we're retreading the same environments the same situations and You know, it's not to be said that, you know, it's not to say that you can't have new stuff in Familiar environments and situations. It's just that when there is something totally new It just piques my interest more and I think it's very cool I like more outside the box things and I think Josh Mallerman is that type of author He does a lot of outside the box ideas when it comes to his stories and that's one of the reasons I'm very attracted to his writing Also, he's just a very good writer the way his his his writing flows and the dialogue in this is really well done It feels authentic for the time and it's eloquent and it gets the point across and it feels realistic for the characters for the people that he created in this book and there's a There is a villain in here. There's kind of more than one villain There's a few villains because it's the Wild West, but there's a particular villain in this book who I think is Outstandingly developed as just this Quirky weird, but terrifying and interesting character It's one of the best villains One of the best like new villains that I've seen come around in like literature TV or movies or whatever in a while And I was very into that character. I think that character is really really cool The only thing I have to say kind of bad about this book is at the very very end There was something that felt like it should have been resolved In a more grandiose way and it wasn't it kind of felt like it was a little too quick and instead of being like A big bang it was like a little bit more of like a yeah, you know like kind of medium like yeah, okay, and now we're done But still good still the story is super super solid. It's very original. It's very interesting the whole time I was reading it I didn't feel like I really wanted to stop at any point because like with black mad wheel There are numerous times I put that book down and I went like days without touching it because I was just like Like I want to finish this but I just don't feel it right now like I'm not it's you know stuff I'm reading and it's just not driving me to pick it back up But with this book I just kept going because it's very interesting It keeps you going and like I said that whole thing of like all these people and forces and things just like coming together And you you feel that way as you're reading like like it's all building and building and building and like you're like Something's coming like this is it gets you excited for the resolution of this book And it's a really good story, and I'm a real big fan of it the thing is though I Don't know if this is really horror like there are some are some kind of horror aspects to it But I don't know if it's really horror. So that's kind of like a negative and a positive Potentially depending on who you are like if you're looking for like horror like gore and horrific stuff And you know you're not gonna get it in this book But if you're a person who has an interest in this type of story and you don't want a lot of horrific stuff You don't want a lot of gore or a lot of violence. That's not in here. So You're safe like it's kind of like horror light for those people, you know, so But yeah, I really like this book. I highly highly highly recommend it Like I said, I like bird box more, but it's a totally different story And this is just very unique and very interesting and I dig it I feel like I don't need to say that much more about it. I do have a Fourth book that I will be reading by Josh Mallerman called inspection which actually came out earlier this year I don't know how soon I'm gonna end up getting to that So it might be a while before that review ends up going up because I may be making a departure to read a leadership book by a Owner the owner and head brewer of dogfish head brewing Sam Callagioni. I Know some people are like leadership book by a beer guy, but I like him a lot. I think he's really cool I happen to have the book it's signed by him cuz I met him and I'm just looking to learn some more leadership stuff and I think it's just a good thing for people to know in your daily life so anyway Sorry, that's kind of like the side tangent, but thank you.
