I would not recommend this book to anyone. This book is 500 pages. The story could've been told in 250, easily. Even if it wasn't just an edgy shock-fest, its bloated length is enough to say you should stay away. I enjoy the author's prose, but I wish he had channeled it differently, and kept it brief.

brainemptyjust's review against another edition

This book started off quite well, then it just went downhill.
By the end the plot just gets completely out of hand to a point, where I just couldn’t finish these last 3%, because it was such pile of nonsense
