This was such a disturbing book and even though I'd only seen a few clips of the movie I knew if was going to be a terrifying read which did not disappoint. Its clear that Annie is a deeply troubled women but i never expected the extent that she was and the amount of murders she committed. Paul himself was far from perfect however no one should be subjected to the torture he sustained with the amputation of his foot the tipping point in a very long list. The book was such an uncomfortable read as I really don't like scary movies. I was waiting for a clear ending but im still unsure what the true ending was.

I felt like four hundred pages of a setting consisting of one room and two characters was a bit overkill but I still enjoyed it.
