gwennyk's review against another edition

Disturbingly graphic just to be provocative. I'm all for pushing boundaries but it was like reading Texas Chainsaw Massacre, gore for gores sake.

This books is beyond messed up and I found the writing style alone was not my faves. Almost DNF’d after that first horrific scene with the gun (iykyk) but stuck it out to see what the hype was all about.
