Intense. Also, it was impressive, very dark, frequently transgressive, horrific but thoughtful. One that sticks with you. In fact, the night after I read it, I suffered an anxiety nightmare that definitely had its roots in the novel. Very few books have ever affected me like that. Recommended for those who want their triggers pressed.

I love books that break the rules. No capitalisation, no grammar. It all represented a person's stream of consciousness perfectly. The court scenes bored me a little, but the violence was great.

While the writing style is amazing this has some pretty brutal torture fantasies that I would not recommend to anyone to read except for my friend John so we can reference them in front of groups of people to make them uncomfortable.

Barely coherent, swinging from gratuitous and gruesome revenge fantasy to high-minded revenge fantasy to biographical sketch to pacing the cell and back again. No real story but the writing has a lot of character.

Dnf at 10%. This book is nothing but a boring rant. I don't understand how one can be impressed, scared or disgusted by pointless, overly verbose ramblings. To me, the shit punctuation was the true horror. Hipster fail.

maybe its just me and my obsession with dark and twisted media, but this book did not live up to its rep. It was also poorly written (perhaps intentionally, but painful nonetheless)
If you want dark and twisted there are so many great works to turn to; don't waste your time with this one
