This was one of my first real experiences with darker darker reads, and I went in with 0 expectations. I had absolutely no idea what to expect, so all of the shock factors really hit me. I definitely enjoyed the book once I adjusted to all the gross things I was reading about. 
I really like books that are so perfectly descriptive that I can imagine the scene as a movie, and there were so many of those scenes in this book, especially the last scene. 

I recommend this book as a good introduction to slasher-type books where readers are looking to get shocked. I do not recommend this book if you're squeamish, you'll be uncomfortable in the worst ways.
