Honestly I don't know how to rate this. It's exhausting to read, it's all foggy and blurry and everything is creepy as hell. But I love the way it's written, and how pretty much every character is unhinged, fucked up, and/or completely out of touch with reality. Somehow, it makes them more human, more touching. (Well, some of them at least)
On an unrelated note, I really liked the parallels between Slayer lyrics and what was happening in the book during some passages.
All in all, this was completely depressing
