It was very well-written and the concept was good, but there was too much detail. I learned too much about some of these characters, especially Shelley.
Overall, it was well-written and I genuinely enjoyed Max, Ephraim, and Newt. I don't think Kent's character was fleshed out enough for me to care about him. His father's character made more of an impact. I am not a religious person by any means, but I do think the author may benefit from Jesus and some therapy. In fact, I need therapy after reading this. My appointment is scheduled for three weeks from now. I'm not hopeful that I'll make it until then with this content wiggling around inside of my head.

Definitely not for the faint-hearted or squeamish. I’m an avid horror fan and even I found parts of this book difficult to get through (though loved it overall)! Proceed with caution if you’re triggered by gore / body horror / animal abuse.noveltay's review against another edition

This is one of the only books that physically impacted me. The scenes are so visceral. First third is great, middle third is gag inducing, final third made it all worth it!
