this book was so insane and brutal and dark and disturbing that it feels wrong to give it any kind of rating. so I won’t. If you are easily disturbed, scared, or grossed out, do NOT read this book. It was gruesome and graphic and sick. Seriously the most disturbing book I have ever read. I found it fascinating and thrilling, and it’s pretty hard to shock me, but this book did just that. i’m thankful it was only 165 pages. im going to go and watch a disney movie now … :-)
