Unfortunately I was fairly disappointed with this book.
Sally went on so much about Jack that my head hurt.
The fact the only way she could see herself was through the lens of two men was so F-ing frustrating.
And there were a lot of things that didn't make sense.
I think I will continue to see this book as separate from the movie.
It was definitely not a feminist tale and I don't see this Sally as "my" Sally.

Unfortunitly the abilism became too much.
I mean the discription of what a monster is. Not the fact that he is killing and defiling bodies.
the use of Retard and cripple didn't help.
I did like Reba but she came too late in the book for me.
