0.5

It caused my OCD/anxiety to spike because the sad truth about this book is that we are slowly reaching the reality of events in the book into modern society. There are no heroic or super action-based moments, besides

Torture

If you have anxiety that can easily be heightened, I do NOT recommend reading.  
If you do read please remember that this book is a warning. NOT a guide! It is creepy how similar the world of the book and reality are.

La decepción fue personal porque creía que venía una culminación de todo el desenlace pero los malos ganan 🥲
