This book was so good. It felt slow moving but not slow paced. It was tense and, like Mario, I never knew what was coming. 

It felt eerie, haunting, and nightmarish but also poignant and observant of our world.

I might have enjoyed this as a teenager, but as a 37 year old I couldn't get behind the protagonist

Holy shit that was one hell of a ride. Tons of twist and turns. Didn't see the ending coming. It kept me on my toes and kept saying wtf under my breath.
