This is EXTREMELY graphic. It’s twisty and turny but the most graphic book I have ever red.

kayleighpie's review against another edition

It was alright I guess. Almost halfway through I thought "What could possibly happen next" and realized I was not interested enough to find out. A lot of gore that made me wonder why some women are so obsessed with graphic violence against women.
