After the Magus, I swore I would not punish myself and force myself to finish a book I was not vibing with. 50 pages is enough for me, thanks.

5.0

It's rare that a book grips me in such a way that I honestly don't want to finish it, but this was one such story. It took me over a month once I reached the hole stretch to sit down and see the journey come to its conclusion. This book is not for everyone, but for those it is for it's everything.

Meg, you owe me for emotional damages! You owe me for something! My time back! I am owed!!!

Sick and twisted! But the book isn't bad. The best part is the creative writing. Extremely, vividly, wildly creative. 

This should be a lesson to all parents: if you're a bad enough parent your family tree might end up looking like a diamond!

One of the most disturbing yet fascinating books I have ever read. I struggled at first but then I just couldn't stop. Was disappointed by the pacing of events later in the book but it was still good.
