jaid02's review against another edition

I was looking for a book that would scare me this year. I don't know if I would say this scared me, but it was so unsettling. I felt sick and it didn't let up on the disturbing scenes at all. Probably would be a good book if I could stomach it, but I didn't think I could make it through another 200+ plus without getting sick.
