Whoa. What a ride. Such a unique, disturbing, well-written novel. The author did an amazing job conveying what goes on in the mind of a seriously depraved individual.
The only reason I did not give this five stars may have been for the wrong reasonsā¦ some of the material honestly disturbed me and made me sick to my stomach. I had to put the book down a few times and watch something funny on TV, and try to find something to distract me or give me hope in mankind š¤£ I will take slasher horror films (or books) any day over something psychologically disturbingā¦ the human mind scares me more than anything!!
If you like psychologically disturbing books, you will love this.
