One of the most disturbing yet fascinating books I have ever read. I struggled at first but then I just couldn't stop. Was disappointed by the pacing of events later in the book but it was still good.

aprilspeirs's review against another edition

It's possibly the most grotesque, weird, disturbing, borderline terrifying novel i've ever read. And I only read 65 pages.

This book will probably stick with me for the rest of my life; it's unlike anything I've ever read before. It's so unique and horrible yet the author did a good job of making the characters lovable despite how different they were.
