However, the more I read the more it kept me interested.
The descriptions of certain events are very graphic and disturbing. But that did make it a good October/Halloween read.
I wouldn’t go out of my way to recommend this, but I also wouldn’t discourage someone from reading it (unless you really can’t read graphic content).

cynical, self-conscious, unflinching, and surprisingly profound.
dorothy was hilarious, and absolutely crazy. and the worst thing is, the whole book was also incredibly and excruciatingly thrilling. i was having fun watching a mad cannibalist skin her lover. i was having a jolly old time while reading about this psychopathic woman eating human meat and analyzing it as if it were just any other ordinary (and with ordinary i mean sophisticated and *italian*) meal.
it was horrible and so entertaining.
