I loved this book. It was dark, intense, terrifying and then sometimes funny too! 
A mixture of a loveable character & a character you don’t know how to feel about. 
Some very terrifying moments so be warned.

Quite dark, original, unsettling. I found  'Peters Narration' the most interesting and disturbing
