Interesting yet still easy to follow writing style, the plot was captivating and so unique. A few times the absurdity of the story was a little overwhelming but overall I really enjoyed it

I enjoyed it to some extent, however this book is extremely weird and messed up so I knocked the rating.

This is a weird book. But it's very good! You can tell it's written by a man just by how grotesque it is. I don't hate that but it is interesting. It feels like the first book I could describe as "grunge"

what the hell, sure
