Very enjoyable book! Dark and gore but also witty, ironic, might i even add funny. Amazingly written, such good vibes and settings. Although there was a little too much cooking vocabulary for me (i had to google a lot of things) i wouldn’t take it any other way, it added a lot to the atmosphere. A few plotholes, a few boring parts.

I was feeling my toes dipping into a reading slump and this book dragged me right out of it. The narrative voice gets insufferable at points but the pacing and story telling methods is fantastic.

This was the most soul sucking and dark book I've ever read. The writing style was so good that I didn't want to put it down, but it was so hard to finish. Dorothy is incredibly insufferable, smart and somewhat self aware. I would say only read this book if you're in a good head space because, of how much detail his book goes into. I originally wanted to rate this book a 4 because, it's nothing I've ever read before and the writing was amazing. I had to knock it down because, of how disgusting this book is and the evil things the main character did.
