I'd have to say this book is probably the most disturbing one I've ever read. The twists kept coming and I was hooked from middle to end. Definitely not for the faint of hearted.

I enjoyed reading this book but it wasn't particularly surprising besides some minor developments throughout the story line so I wouldn't recommend it. It was still pushing to reflect on humans worst sides and puts things in perspective so I still found it good to read.

Unreliable narrators used to their full advantage. Characters that you can sympathize with AND absolutely despise. Loved the physical book so much that i immediately purchased the audiobook version to experience differently.
