it's haunting and terrifying, mostly because it's real. a book you won't be likely to forget anytime soon.

The book uses different writing styles, such as some chapters being in second person (although not the same consistent ‘you’ throughout), and one chapter told from the perspective of one of the dead. Although these were interesting, I personally found it quite hard to follow the plot because of it.
