2.0

this was something! like everyone else, i couldn't stomach the murders and the sexual violence that occurred throughout the book. this was certainly a hard read. the only scene i liked was patrick and jean's conversation around the end of the book. i hope i can forget about this book now that i'm finally finished with it.

DNF at 41% due to not being able to handle gore and animal torture

From what i've read so far it's pretty good but my mental state just can't handle reading depravity that just gets worse and worse as the book progresses.

Call me weak or whatever but i grew up in an emergency vet and adopted many dogs that were victims of torture and reading about it just brings back what I saw when i was younger.
