Really well done. For what it is about and for the ending it managed to not be confusing. Everything fits into place really well once you reach the end. That last 80 pages are really where the book gets you. Would really recommend, almost perfect thriller.

I never saw the movie so I went into this book pretty  blindly. I’m planning on watching the movie ASAP. 

Overall it was a good book! It kept me guessing until the end but one of my theories ended up being the right one. The twist didn’t have me completely shocked because I really had a feeling and inkling about it from certain things mentioned in the book. I wasn’t 100% certain I was right until reading the whole thing so it did still keep me questioning myself. At times I felt a little bit confused but I think that was the authors point to make the reader totally and completely confused questioning everything. The setting was cool and creepy and made you feel like you were really there and in it. The confusion aspect really added to the psychological vibe. I would recommend this to anyone who likes a twisted mind fu*k!
