When I first heard about this book, and read reviews that people were disappointed and bored by this book, I decided to go in with zero expectations and preconceptions. I'm very glad that I did. Don't go into this expecting a thriller. This is gothic lit.
I enjoyed the prose style. Not overwhelming, quite simple and to-the-point. It reminded me a lot of my first two years in university. Very surreal.
