Utterly bewildering! Such a strange little book and I’m unsure I really know if he ever had a mustache or not, the ending added a serious shock factor I was not expecting! 
Some outdated language in there but over all an enjoyable read

A quick, dark read. I'm glad it was short because I dont think I could've done it much longer. Really interesting concept though and not something I'd typically gravitate toward so I liked it.
