This book was grim. However it was also really good. I didn’t rate it too highly though as it took me so long to get through it. Also this isn’t really the type of book I’d usually go for, it was very disturbing but also fascinating at how a whole book can be written in one place with only 2 main characters.

This was terrifying and horrid. The only reason I picked it up is because my goddaughter’s school is putting it on as a play next month, and I wanted to read it first. This is the kind of thing nightmares are made of.
