wow that was insane. oh my god? that was so much to process. really riveting and intense and...insanely graphic. huge tw for child violence and death! this was a whirlwind of a book but i loved the themes and the imagery and the prose. it was, despite its gruesome nature, a fairly pleasurable and effective read. it did what it sought out to do!
