This could have been interesting. The fixation on the mouth was ridiculous. Seemed like the author pulled out a thesaurus to write this. Not an approachable book at all.

Ummm... no?
dark mysterious

I'm writing this several months after reading it and since reading two or three more of Khaw's books, and I returned to drop my recommendation on a stellar read. I don't say this lightly, but Cassandra Khaw has really hit a [good] nerve with her story construction, especially in the short form. This book in particular really struck the right tone, executing on a simple idea in a way I admire. And all of these reviews are subjective, so let's add my subjective review to the pile.
