This is one of those books that I could sit here for hours and try to express my thoughts about it but I just don't know what to say. 
Firstly, there were some quotes and scenes in this book that I really did enjoy, whether they were poetic or completely insane. 
Honestly, I could just describe this book as creepy, crazy and sad (and a bit horny). 
Also, I enjoyed the author's sarcasm for the pretentiousness of some people in the art world. I think that it was done in a very smart way. 
On the other hand, there were some parts in the story where I couldn't understand what was happening, but I understand that this is the author's purpose. 
Overall, this was an interesting read hence why I am giving it 3 stars.

I found this book very tense, disturbing & at times, confusing. I understand where the author was trying to go with it, however I feel that it fell a bit short of that.

A gripping but disturbing read. I’d heard about the cult-following behind this book so thought I’d give it a go, but it’s hard to know whether I did or didn’t enjoy it. It was difficult (intentionally, one could argue), to grasp the different strands of the plot at times. The characters were deliberately I likeable but I found that made it difficult to get into the book, alongside the ambiguity in the plot.
