There is a lot of substance in this book, and a lot of interesting points, but it wasn't really for me. Maybe I don't have the brain capacity to understand a lot of what this book is trying to say, or I just got bored. I can see how someone may love this book though!

So beautifully written. Poetic and lyrical even in the darkest, most twisted scenes. Gut-wrenching.
I know very little about the author or the historical context, and I feel some things might escape me in afterthought.

you know what? i actually don’t care that this was well written. at all. the merits of the writing absolutely do noT make up for the sheer amount of misogyny, how contrived and sinister some of the characters came across, and how? gruesome it was? i understand the points it tried to make, and i appreciate how sometimes stories about disturbing people have to be told. but honestly? there are far better ways to tell them than this.
