My first audiobook since high school. Wow, this one played into some very specific fears I have. I found myself physically cringing numerous times while listening. It's truly that horrifying. The characters were well realized and the author balanced plot, description, and character work well.

2.5/5 at best. Extremely predictable, more gross out than horror, and a bunch of superfluous animal torture because the author really wants us to understand that one kid is BAD.

I could retell the dust jacket again, but I'm going to give one piece of advice on this very well written gore-fest, keep it closed around mealtimes! LMFAO

I read this book in one sitting.

It is a thoroughly creepy read about a parasite that invades the body with a lot of descriptive body horror. The story picked up fairly quickly, and the characters were dynamic and each unique. It was very interesting to see how the young boys reacted and changed throughout this situation and the tough decisions they had to make.

I liked this one! However, the concepts of this book is kinda hard to talk about with other people unless you know them well… Would this person enjoy biological nightmares? (Usually no)
