Wow. Dark, painful and intense. A venture into the depravity that lies just under the surface of humanity, and can be drawn out when there's the temptation of getting away with it. Only slight downside is the sheer number of names that are used for repeating characters. Absolutely LOVED this read.

I never read a horror book before, so it was shocking me the amount of gore that happened in this book. I really enjoyed this book though for the reason I enjoy reading dystopian/post apocalypse books. Definitely read the trigger warning if you're considering reading this book

A fascinating take on LOTF in a more modern time, the only glaring annoyance being how heavily technology addiction is blamed for the events of the novel.  Otherwise, literally couldn't put it down, listened to the full audiobook in two days.
