- My one complaint is that it felt a little too long, like I got about 2/3 of the way through and thought "surely this is over soon?" but then find out theres like over a hundred pages left?
- But even with it feeling long, I was never bored, like the action was CONSTANT so I was always completely invested
- Some of these clowns will haunt my nightmares forever (I'm looking at you, Shiggles)
- My favorite element of this writing style was that it was written as like a description of a movie. This is perfect for visual readers like me, who picture the story like a movie in my mind anyway.
- - The "cut to" and "split screen" moments made it so easy to picture exactly what was happening as if I was watching the movie myself.
- There was not a single point in this book where I KNEW who was going to survive in the end, which just made the action so much more interesting
- The actual amount of heinous violence in this should be troubling, and yet I was here for it.

The only reason I could not give this five stars is that there was a bit of a lull when we entered Bonkin's Bonanza Big Blow Out; the story just felt like it was being dragged out with all the "deadly" carnival games.
Nonetheless, The Cotton Candy Massacre did not disappoint with its gore and violence. The writing style felt unique and original; it brought the characters and Bonkin's Bonanza to life, and I felt like I was inside the story living the events with the characters. Once I had finished The Cotton Candy Massacre, I felt empty inside, the sign of a good book!
