4.0

This is a hard one to rate, I did enjoy it and I think it does what it set out to do well. It is gross and definitely took me out of my comfort zone but overall was good read. It in my opinion a little predictable and there were parts at the end I wasn’t as big a fan of. If you like more extreme horror I think this is a good and quick read.

Is it wrong of me to like it? Maybe. But I did like it.
The book is basically just a trauma-porn about broken people but elevated to the extreme. I couldn't for the life of me look away from the pages, so captivating and horribly bizzare the content was.
I guessed the ending 50-60 pages in, but I've watched (and loved to bits) Gozu by Takashi Miike, so it was the least shocking thing to me in this whole book.
Read all the trigger warnings carefully. They are here and they are very real.
