I could give a more thought-out review but if you’re scrolling thru trying decided if you want to read this, please don’t bother. If you do, listen to the audio, listen to the first hour or so (2x speed) and then skip to the final 3 hours. That’s literally all you need, I promise! The middle is solely extra info about 100 different townspeople and a bunch of rapes, murders, and suicides. That’s the story. 
You’re welcome.

Dragged in the beginning for how quickly it ended. The characters were memorable and the plots were very detailed. 
Satisfied to finish the book, not sure I’m going to pick it up again.

ana_montenegro's review against another edition

Disgusting ways of narrating women, it made me uncomfortable every time a woman would be described, usually it just described their boobs or how much a character wants to fuck her. Also the tempo is really slow up to where I read, makes sense as it is more than 1000 pages tho. It really had a great concept, writing style ruined it for me. I went in a reading slump of a month or so, won’t be finishing any time soon.
