The Cabin in the Woods: a dark and gripping psychological thriller with a twist you won’t see coming

Product Information

A lone woman holed up in a remote cabin in the woods, cut off from the outside world, she doesn't want to be seen, doesn't want to be recognised. Is she in hiding? Is she on the run? Most of all, she captures the struggle to balance her need for companionship and love with her desire for independence and solitude. Woodswomanis not simply a book about living in the wilderness, it is a book about living.

I thoroughly enjoyed the plot of this thriller and especially the seamless transitions from past tense to present. I felt that this really added to the suspense and kept me hooked and wanting to read on to uncover the truth behind the mystery. I also liked that the synopsis did not give away any of the story and so I had no expectations as to what Rose had been through and what to expect from each character. As someone who enjoys a ‘happy ending’ I liked the way that this book wrapped everything up at the end but still didn’t feel far fetched. Amazing. I couldn't put it down once I started reading it. The plot was nice, the characters were fleshed out but it was the pacing that was the real winner here. I want to put my hands on everything Sarah has written and read it all in a day. She's very good. Taking us on a wild ride, in alternating timelines from the present to the past, Rose’s story unfolds with a fantastic amount of twists. I wasn’t super invested in the story at first, but I couldn’t put it down after I reached the halfway mark, there were SO many plot points I just NEEDED to have revealed and I couldn’t stop until I knew everything! The story almost felt like it had two different pacings - the slower, tense story of the present and the fast paced events of the past. It worked really well together and ensured the two timelines didn’t blur together too much. Angry Molesting Tree - Exactly what it sounds like. Seen bursting out of elevator, more detailed scene cut from theatrical release. Specific reference: The Evil Dead (1981). [Bet on by Wranglers]I was unsure whether I was happy with the ending, but actually I think it couldn't have been any other way! Life starts out rough for Rose and her sister Daisy, both born in a trailer park to drug addicted parents in a no named town in Missouri. Having little shot at making it in the world, Rose is enamored when she meets a wealthy, charismatic man named Ryan who sweeps her off her feet bringing her from rags to riches. She thought she scored the most eligible bachelor in Manhattan and that all of the surrounding women were envious. But were they? Or was Rose naive to what their side eyes and side conversations were really about? In an effort to hide his crimes, Ryan frames his wife as a mentally ill murderer. Finding friendship and allies in unlikely places, Rose sets out on a journey of revenge, one that will right all her wrongs. The Master,' 'Ang Lee' win with Kansas City Film Critics Circle". HitFix.

There is very little filler (in my opinion) and it's all interesting (even the more, simple parts like what she does in her everyday life)

Featured Reviews

Gorilla (with horns) - A horned gorilla is shown in the failed attempt in Buenos Aires. Reference to King Kong or possibly Congo (1995). so this was really good. i keep going between four and four and a half stars, but just know that i really liked it. tws for this one include discussion and representation of addiction and mental health issues. i clarify this part first, obviously, just in case someone doesn't want to read those topics, but also to clarify i deal with none of those things first hand, so i can't speak in terms of how the representation was done. i think it was done well, but again, my opinion doesn't count for this part. This is Elizabeth Gilbert’s tale of his story, which toes the line between man and myth. It was published during her time at GQ Magazine in 2002, before the explosion of Eat, Pray, Love fame four years later. The Last American Man was nominated for National Book Award in non-fiction. Boomer - Bloated zombie seen in a Cube Cell. Specific reference: Left 4 Dead (2008). [Not on Betting Pool Board] Absolutely compelling and compulsive reading! I felt like I was being psychologically tortured in the best possible way.

Rose is on the run, hiding out in an abandoned cabin in upstate New York. In the middle of winter - no electricity, no heat, no hot water. Brrrrrrrr. She’s exhausted, injured, in pain, and frightened for her life. Initially, we have no idea why she is there, or who she is running from… The marriage, however, is not an easy one, after Rose has a child and is diagnosed with Postpartum Psychosis. Then she finds out what her husband actually is........

The Cube Cells - A large multi-layered labyrinth of cells holding all the monsters. Generic reference: Cube (1997), The Cell (2000)

Tense is a good way to describe this book. There is continious tension and the main character is contioniosly on her guard. This made me feel very tense as well, but in a good way! I got absorbed into the story and wanted to know more.

The storyline is set in present and the past and doesn't give much away at all in the beginning. Either way, it gave you enough to be gripped by what it is Rose is hiding out in the cabin from. Whedon described the film as an attempt to revitalize the horror genre. He called it a "loving hate letter" to the genre, continuing: [10] This is all I knew when I started reading this book but oh boy was I in for a good story. Before I properly start the review, I want to thank Netgalley and Avon Books for letting me read this ARC. Now, let's start.

Goddard previously worked with Whedon on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel as a writer. Marty and Dana share a joint and reflect on all they've been through.
