The most grim and dark book I’ve read in a long time. Just when you thought things couldn’t get more depraved, they do! A graphic and unflinching look at the darkest corners of humanity. What made me not just DNF it was the writing and the structure of it. Short but packs the biggest punch. 

Fernanda Melchor, tiene mis respetos. Nunca voy a olvidar las emociones que senti cuando estaba leyendo esto.

Very dark stories intertwined with misery as a common thread.

Very descriptive, which makes it easy to imagine what characters are going through.

Worst part of it might be that there's no happy ending, but that's reality for many people.

savvylit's review against another edition

I really enjoyed the feverish writing style of Hurricane Season. Run-on sentences, huge paragraphs... it all felt claustrophobic in a way that I loved. At least, at first. However, after sitting through some intense rape scenes, pedophilia, misogyny, and homophobia, I thought it couldn't get any worse. By the time a character started having elaborate fantasies involving bestiality, I had to throw the towel in and give up. The depravity of Hurricane Season simply became too much for me to bear.
