dark fast-paced

2.0

This book follows the thoughts and actions of Guy Burress who is NOT a serial killer. Guy is trying to find his ultimate victim and can’t seem to track her down. In the meantime, he plays with others. This is an extremely dark, graphic, horror book with very graphic mutilation scenes. I felt like the book was just trying to be as dark and gory as possible just for the sake of it. The ending tried to be a twist but I just shrugged it off as being too silly. I almost didn’t understand what the twist was, so I had to re-read it a few times. Would not recommend this book.

A twisted tale

I've read a lot of fucked up things but this definitely wins the "Most Fucked Up Thing I've Ever Read" award. Guy takes you along on a journey of madness, his madness though remember he's not crazy (or so he says) the descriptions of his delusions and his justification for everything is masterfully done.
