I was not in the mood for something weird and creepy, and I could not get into it at all.

This book was so weird and disgusting but I couldn't stop listening to it. There wad no real sense of plot or movement really it was basically a year in lapvona. 

I don't know what I expected from the ending but it was very fitting. 

Just a weird story and I loved it

One of the most grotesque books I've ever read. Interesting but definitely not for the faint of heart/stomach.
