I’m sorry to rate it so low, but it was gross and hard to read, and made me feel uncomfortable. I didn’t really like the ending and would not particularly recommend it to anyone.

I was expecting this to be way more disgusting than it was, but I think my takeaways more so were around the way Christianity and religion was portrayed. Very interesting indeed

this is a DNF, I don’t think I made it further than about 80 or so pages. It’s just so overwhelmingly depressing for the sake of being depressing that I have no reason to continue
