jfarmer18's review against another edition

There is a lot of gory detail in this book, yes. Like. A lot. But the chapters just went on and on and on. It was just too much. Too much trauma, too much gore, too many words. I couldn’t bring myself to keep going so I googled the ending.

5.0

The subject matter of this book was very disturbing. Check your trigger warnings for everything, but it was still very good. It was predictable, but intriguing and the writing was good. I loved the ending. This is a rare instance where I really hope they do NOT make this a movie. The visuals would be too awful.
