Also ich hab das Buch meinen Mitbewohnern vorgelesen und die halten mich für verrückt. Ich lieb seine Bücher immer noch. Es passiert unfassbar viel und schon wieder ist ein Girl der Badass

I had a rocky start with this book. I really really dislike the main character, Alice. I think that had she handled things much differently in the beginning, things wouldn't have gone the way they did. I suppose then there wouldn't be a book. The action picked up and I ended up really enjoying this novel.

Quite a long time ago I read this. But I remember I had a blast. Kept me reading and reading.

One of the most psychologically eerie books I have read in years. Laymon sure knows how to hold the reader captive.

I liked the suspense and general plot of this book but there was just too much unnecessary nudity and too many graphic sexual scenes for my tastes. It was very interesting to see how the chain of events unfolded, there was just too much NC-17 content for me.

What the fuck did I just read, and why the fuck did I love it so much?!

As I sit here having just finished this bizarre rollercoaster of a book I find myself at a loss for words. This was my fist Laymon novel and I regret nothing. It was hilarious and unsettling. The narrator was a fucking loon. Shit started weird and quickly escalated from there. You simply cannot read this book and say you were bored.

I loved it. That is all.
