This was not at all satisfying to me. There were parts I wanted to like, parts where I thought it had potential, where a slow reveal was worth it. But I spent most of my reading time confused, annoyed, or bored. And by the end, I was completely dissatisfied and actually kind of angry at where we had finally been taken.

Couldn't finish the book, came to find the writing style horrible and the way of story telling terrible boring. Stopped at page 200

Too disturbed for me, no thank you.

I finished reading this book about a week ago. It was different, disturbing, a little sad, impressive and very engaging. I really couldn't put it down (except to actually get some sleep and some food in my stomach, because it's annoyingly necessary), and I enjoyed it very much. Been a while since I read a thriller but I really enjoyed this incursion into the human mind.
