Absolutely insane read but I loved it. In fact, I loved it so much that I chose to do it as one of my A Level English lit coursework texts! Highly recommend if you enjoy reading the absolute worst man ever yapping about Edgar Allan Poe.

I felt a lot of different things and I didn’t expect pity for a pedophile to be one of them.

I don't even know what to rate this, it certainly made me immensely uncomfortable and there were often times where the author went on a ramble. I understand the purpose of this book, I just don't know that I needed to read it to get that insight.

Anyone who thinks this is a romance or a comedy has lost their last brain cell. It is well written and witty but it is not fun or romantic. 
Worth the read I just had to take occasional breaks because I got too angry.

I found it boring. The way the story is written is confusing and very dull.
