It's never a good sign when the person who suggests a book to you, says that it takes more than half the book until you get into the story. For me, I never got into "Weird SIster". Maybe it was because the whole plot, antagonist, and point of the story is given away in the first few pages. Maybe it was because the author flitted around between a million characters, pretended that a whole village in the late 90s in England was as backwater as a small clan of inbreds living in the Ozarks. Either way, even the ending to this book couldn't just put its own self out of its misery. The author leaves just enough room for you to know that the damage isn't done and may not come back for 400 more years. That's how long it felt like this story dragged on for.Don't read it.
