katari636's review against another edition

challenging dark sad tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

If I could give this book negative stars I would. It’s unnecessarily gross and vulgar and has taken me forever to get through because it’s mostly whiney, stream of consciousness dribble from one of the character’s thoughts. Don’t waste your time.
