I liked it and I didn't. Every sentence was beautiful and lyrical - but also every sentence was filled with GRE test prep words. It was dark and weird and I'll probably think about it for some time, but does that make it good? I don't know.

I really enjoyed the first half of the book, but found the second half too gorey.
