Top 10 grossest book I've ever read in my life. It made me want to vomit and was so sick and twisted. But I found it incredibly interesting because of how messed up it was.

Many descriptions of amputation for religious purposes. People also removing prosthetics. Self amputation happens as well. Please be aware this is very graphic and meant to be disturbing

dumbledorable's review against another edition

Way too horrific. I love a good scary story, but this was stomach-churning. Not for the faint of heart.

Definitely not for the faint of heart! Extremely disturbing subject matter that the author somehow makes more palatable by the interesting cast. The story truly encompasses what a fever dream feels like, but the reader is inticed into embracing the chaos until the very last page. A susprisingly enjoyable read! Just wish the author delved more into the main character's development (and not just physical development).
