I think this book tried to explore some interesting themes (power, femininity, what I means to be good/bad), but it spent more time trying to be graphic and upsetting than actually saying anything interesting. You can explore these themes without being incredibly exploitative just for shock value. I love a gruesom tale, but its gotta have more of a point than this. I'm certainly not gonna forget it, but not in a good way.
