This bleak, violent, brutal, dark poetic masterpiece is not for the fainthearted. I will be rereading this book every few years for the rest of my life.

This was recommended to me so many times, but I just didn’t get it. Doesn’t seem to be any character or plot development. I guess I understand the book is a collection of snippets on how awful people are…but I just didn’t get anything out of it.

I think I may need to reread this sometime in the future. This writing style is kinda wack, lol. I liked the ending a lot, though!
