It is Crazy, it’s short. Despite how messed up parts are I couldn’t put it down I had to know what happened next, and for getting me out of a reading hump, have only great things to say about it.

Such a page-turner. I found myself feeling somewhat conflicted over Frank and his actions. Which is...yikes. Great read though. I would recommend this to a friend who's also into the dark stuff.

Horrifying and gruesome are good words to use, especially one part in particular. A commentary on the loneliness of regular people and their moral ambiguities. Frank is a terrifying character and the calmness and stoic nature of him makes him all the more creepy. Kenji is no saint either, he did not do the things that Frank did, but he was complicit in his actions. Though after experiencing something so traumatic, I don’t know what anyone would do, I suppose it was a matter or survival? All in all, an interesting book, it did what it set out to do, which is to horrify and intrigue the reader.
