The writing style prevented me from feeling anything for the kids somehow. Their deaths are brutal, yes, and the overall idea of the playground and its architecture were truly interesting, but I never felt the emotions that something like that should evoke in a reader. No disgust, no sadness, no anger. The most disgusting part was about the old lady's weird fetish about her mom.

Like someone took a Mad Libs notebook and filled the margins with the grossest shit he could think of. The only way I’d recommend this book to a friend is if I wanted to stop being their friend.

….. I knew I was signing up for child murders, that wasn’t even the worst part of this book. What I didn’t know is that I was also signing up for detailed descriptions of this old hags vag and it’s smell
