5.0

This book is absolutely not for everyone, it's grotesque and made me feel physically unwell at several points but I literally couldn't put it down? and I'd absolutely read it again? wild

Took a while to get into the 'horror' aspect, but by about the middle it all starts to warp, a very dysfunctional group of people that seem to have a particular loyalty to each other and the cinema which almost seems to be characterised as its own partially living character as much a part of them as they are it....everything catalyses and from there it all begins to unravel for these lost souls in hideously tragic ways. Some of what they got up to was beyond belief at some points, and 'The Paradise' seemed a lost world forgotten to all but those who walked through its doors. Still not quite sure what I have read or what to take away from it, what was the point? If you want lighthearted this is the opposite!

the narrator is written with a detached feeling, it seems like she is nonchalant about the things that happen.
