I have to be honest, I finished reading this out of curiosity rather than enjoyment.

While it was well-written, it feels like the author had a checklist of every terrible thing that could happen to a person and did their best to check them all off. It was excessive, turning the main character into the exact opposite of a Mary Sue character, and not to his benefit.

It's disturbing and it's uncomfortable to read outright paedophilia written so explicitly and comfortably.

It’s extreme horror and extreme porn, and is certainly not for the faint-hearted. It’s chock-full of depravity Unfortunately, that is all there is. The story is weak and unsatisfying. For me it was money wasted, but I seem to be pretty much alone in that view.

Buckle up and settle in for a grim story about shitty people and the dark side of Hollywood! There are no good people in this. There is nothing redeeming about a single one of them. (Well, maybe Beatrice.) There are no heroes. Everything is dark and twisted from the start and never relents. It's depressing, disgusting, incestuous, violent, and impossible to put down because even though the characters are garbage people, Chandler Morrison writes a throughly engaging story that holds you in for the ride from the very first page. The reward is an epilogue that sprinkles just a tiny patch of sunshine on an otherwise bleak world.
