Reasonably well-written, but the twist/conclusion did not work for me at all.

I highly recommend this as an audiobook. It is so creepy. There are sound effects and whispering and all kinds of things that added to the story. Also, I loved the ending. I have seen an ending like that before but I still loved it!

I loved this from the first word to the last.

It’s such a messy little book but messy in a way that adds to the story.

Truly a creative book in many senses of the word. Love how the author plays with the syntax to create tension and horror. The twist was also quite surprising, and landed well for me and didn’t feel shoe horned or unbelievable.

Nonsensical, pretentious and painful to read. The story goes around in circles in a way that is maddening and really doesn’t end up anywhere significant when you reach the sweet relief of the final page.

I was all set to rate this a 4 star. Until that ending. Did not enjoy.
