While 'Full Brutal' was a stellar exploration of a steady slip into madness and excellently written, all I want to say is that I am afraid of everyone who wrote in their review that they 'relate to Kim' or 'love her'.

So as far as horror this gets a 5. However reading it wasn’t pleasant, hence the 2. I highly doubt it was meant to be, but I needed to take many breaks from seeing the world through Kim's eyes. Never encountered such a horrific person and hope to never again. The things Kim did was beyond deplorable. Her goal was to ruin lives just because and boy did she. The things she caused were horrendous and made it so hard to read at times. However, with all of that said I was determined to see how Kim's plans worked out! Will continue to follow Kristopher Tiana's work.

All that being said, it has been a year since I have read it and talk about this book ALL THE TIME.

This book wasn't for me, it's just too disturbing, heartless and evil.

I just can't enjoy reading about such depravity and how much you can destroy another person just for the hell of it.

The writer is very talented though, can't deny that and he does exactly what he intended to do; leaving the reader shocked.

Not for me but if you're into 'extreme' horror, you'll probably like this.

Now excuse me while I scrub myself with bleach and turn vegetarian.
