While I enjoyed the middle third of the book, and I like the author's way of writing, I found it a tedious read and was happy to be done with it. The constant and increasingly monotonous onslaught of gore, mindless violence, and horror eventually numbed and bored me. I would've liked to see the characters explore actual motivations, and the "plot" twists feel more and more undeserved due to witheld information.
Graphic: Addiction, Blood, Death of parent, Vomit, Drug use, Alcoholism, Injury/Injury detail, Violence, Murder, Torture, Fire/Fire injury, Gore, Animal death, Body horror, Child death, and Death
Moderate: Classism, Excrement, Misogyny, Sexual assault, and Animal cruelty
It's bad, folks. Don't read this if you're queasy.
