5.0

This is one of the strangest books I've ever read and I love it so much.

I don't know how someone manages to write Child's Play on steroids while also writing a meaningful commentary on death, grief, and family, but Hendrix did and I am thoroughly impressed. 

I am most impressed by the imagery of this book, honestly. As wild as the events were, the writing put the pictures in my head the whole time and I could picture it as if it were a movie playing in my head. I've had off and on opinions about Grady Hendrix's writing, but this one does not disappoint in the slightest. I will recommend this to everyone I possibly can because I just love it so much.

Thanks to NetGalley & the publisher for giving me access to this.
