So I did mostly enjoy Woom, I think. There were 100% a couple of absolutely toe curling moments, but, I think I may have been reading too much splatter punk recently because nothing came as *super* shocking. 

There was a slight twist (more of a reveal) that worked really well, but I did find a fair few of the stories to be a little predictable. 

Also shout out to Shyla, the plus sized prostitute who is apparently colour blind cause girl those flags you were missing? They were red as heck yo

I really enjoy how creative this idea is, even when it's kind of gross. I was able to finish it in one sitting and it's definitely not boring. The end was a shock for sure and I can certainly say I haven't seen anything like it.

Very disturbing book! Not for the faint of heart, if you’re into shock value and extreme imagery this book is for you
