I have completely forgotten  how utterly wild the end of this book was. I am also now mildly traumatized again, and if I didn't already plan a mushroom dish for this coming week, I would forego it entirely.

This book still held up its star raring like before, though I do think it was definitely more creepy and more disturbing reading it in print than listening to it at 2x the speed on audiobook. Also, the way this book is emulating life atm is uncanny. Pity we can't just burn our problems away with a bit of fire and feminine rage. Just saying.
