- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
Reading this is like going through the Reddit post history of a mass shooter: starts out violently unhinged to begin with and only gets more and more incoherent. And if that sounds like a fucked up comparison to make, know that this is a fucked up book.
It's also disturbingly thought-provoking, mixed in with the demented philosophy screed and pornographic cruelty. Horrifically, I think I accidentally learned something. And the subtle slide from at least intelligible madness to fully incomprehensible madness was superbly written.
At 150 pages, it only took 1 night to read. I... might have to read it again.

Absolutely loved this one. Visceral and deliciously violent but not gratuitous.
