This book had a looming dread over it from the beginning, which really helped shape the atmosphere. With some many characters in the book I had though it would be a little muddled. But many of the characters get flushed out and are memorable. The whole premise of the novel is simple yet destructive, it really packed a punch with a little mix up of a few genres, Dystopian, Physical Horror, Thriller. I really enjoyed this book, I just wish it was a tad shorter.

I skipped a 100 pages cause I was getting tired of all the sexist comments in the book. But I did wanted to know how it ends.
