You still write good, meaty reviews that explain what works and doesn't work for you. Where do you find these books? Are they new releases, or things you find in the library?
The horror of the story is an animate fur boa which moves with a slow, caterpillar-like gait. Small furry things are generally not frightening - only good writers can make them so - and small furry things that nuzzle up against people and are generally petsome are even less so.
Funny you should mention this the day after I got up for something in the middle of the night and found a solid black wooly bear caterpillar trundling across the floor. Not horrifying, though I was mystified as to what the hell it was doing in the middle of the house, as they are rather an outdoor species.
