It's still a good story with not quite unlikable main characters. I'm ready to continue on this series again as I just found out there's a fourth book (super excited since the author's writing has gotten so dang good with the Zoey Ashe series).
Definitely a must read for any time of year, but especially October. Who doesn't need a little existential dead and body horror every now and then?

It's very surreal and frantic. Parts of it definitely remind me of a video game.
A word of warning, there are a a couple slurs thrown around pretty regularly that were more socially acceptable (at least among boys of a certain age) back when the book was written but that are jarring to read now.
There's also some animal death.
