This book managed to stay true to the move and still be entertaining and worth the read.

I enjoyed the subtle eeriness of the book and I found the way that they switched so quickly between characters to be delightful when I was worried that it would be jarring. I liked that they kept the atmosphere of not really knowing what was going on or who to believe at any given time and I think they did a wonderful job intertwining the sessions within the rest of the story.

Overall, I would recommend this book both to people who have seen the movie and those who have not. (Go watch the movie, too, though!!)

This was absolutely insane, no phun intended. It had those eerie, creepy vibes from the very beginning and my heart kept beating faster and faster. When I realized what was going on my jaw dropped and I felt nauseous. This was such a wild ride. Bingeable and nervewrecking. You’re ment to feel confused and frustrated. Enjoy the ride.

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for this arc!!

I really enjoyed this book. More than I thought I would. I liked the characters! Great writing style and I liked the storyline. This book kept me guessing. I finished it in one sitting.

This was a wonderfully done novelization for a movie that I really enjoyed. It did everything that I was looking for from a good novelization, it added to the story and fleshed it out better. I thought Christian Francis has a strong writing style and it told the story perfectly. It was suspenseful and glad it was what I wanted from this type of book.

A terrific book. Once I started I could not put it down. Session 9 is one of the most underrated horror movies of all time. To be honest, I wasn't sure how a novelization would work since the movie is so atmospheric and the setting plays such a huge part. However, the book does an outstanding job of effectively painting a picture of the setting and atmosphere. This book is a worthy companion to the movie for anyone that has already seen the movie and, at the same time, is a terrific read for anyone that hasn't yet seen the movie. Highly recommended.
