2.5 stars. I recognise that I wasn’t the target audience for this book, but I still felt the the writing and style of the book was quite good and it can appeal to others. The ending was actually a great climatic reveal, wasn’t expecting that at all

It took me a while but man am I glad I finished this book. Grotesque and hilarious, although I find the ending perplexing...
