This book is challenging. It's a very layered experience, where you can't 'shut off' while reading or else you'll completely lose both the plot and the direction we're headed. As such, a re-read may be necessary to see what even happened. I am one who didn't see the hype in this, maybe because it's strange, maybe because horror isn't my genre, maybe because I just felt like the book went right over my head.
It's divisive.
