Super messed up, but the plot concept is still one of the most intriguing things I’ve ever read.

Do not read unless you can handle extreme psychological horror. The plot is driven by the torture of the main characters, and is disturbing to read.revolutionfrommybed's review against another edition

This story is a hard read in general. It may well be one of the bleakest things I have ever read. The video game adaptation is worse. However, i truly believe if you are able to stomach the sensitive content, this book is definitely worth giving a chance.complexty's review against another edition
