I hated every second of this book. Well written, but incredibly, incredibly dark.

This was very very heavy. Highly recommend reading the trigger warnings beforehand. And don't read this book if you are not in a great state of mind, it is filled to the brim with negativity, despair, sadness, horror. 
I don't really have much else to say - not because it was nothing, but because I am still trying to understand how I feel. I have no idea what to say, no idea what to think. It's just heavy and sad.

Blimey, what a book, page long sentences, and really graphic, depraved, and intense writing. It was read as a book club choice, and had it not been, it would have been my first ever did not finish! Too dark and nasty for me. If you do decide to read it, the trigger points are many, so please see what they are before reading. However, the writing was just like a hurricane, never ending and intense. I can see why others rate this book but not for me. Sorry
