Talk:Robert the Doll/@comment-26428416-20150524023709

I have to be honest, I found this kind of terrible. I was referred to this particular story by a youtube video that recommended several others. Although were great, not all of them were necessarily "good", but this is the only one that I felt needed a comment. Besides glaring omissions or confusing twists in the plot like why the doll was cursed in the first place, why the "turret" room was relevant and what it was, and why the new owners would even keep the doll; the worst part of the story was the sense that the author didn't even know what story he/she wanted to write. There was no real point at which the doll became sentient, and by the end it was very unclear exactly how sentient the author even wanted it to be. It was either sometimes sitting in a different position than left in the night before.... or actively walking around with a knife stalking people in their beds. This seems to basically be a retelling of the "harold" story from scary stories to tell in the dark, but just done in a very jumbled and confusing way. If the author at least had a better idea of the exact degree of "life" they wanted the doll to have it might help.
