Disturbing and addicting

I found this book totally disturbing throughout until it all comes to light in the end. I had a hard time putting this book down.

I'm honestly not sure what I think of this book. It was very well written and in spite of it's slow paceing for parts kept you engaged. But all through the story was odd.

This book was so difficult to read because it was just so disturbing. Every chapter I kept thinking it cannot get any worse, yet it did. I wasn’t sure whether I loved it or hated it at first, and now I realized it was well written and I really enjoyed it. Plus what makes or breaks a book for me is the last paragraph or sentence of the book, and I just loved how it ended!

I had to force myself through the first half of this book but once the flashback started and I had some answers I flew through the rest. I didn't enjoy the vague ending though.

Bastante entretenido, aunque con pequeñas cositas un tanto inverosímiles. Me ha parecido que poner la explicación del "misterio" a la mitad le quita fuerza al final.

I'm not sure what I think of this book. It was so unexpected. It was so bizarre and twisted. I was confused, horrified, dismayed. It just was a mess. Those people were so f-ed up in the head. I just have no other words.

No character has a brain or makes any sense in here. It's all pure actions that dont follow any path or logic.

Dysfunctional Thriller

Wow. Not sure exactly where to start on this one. It was dysfunctional and disturbing and even uncomfortable at times. This is a read that will stick with me for a long time. Some of it was slow and I really wanted to know more about the characters but I flew through the last half of the book. I just couldn't put it down and had to find out what was going to happen. I enjoyed the twists and turns even though I didn't agree with the choices that were made by the family. I didn't like the end as much as I should've but would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a dysfunctional family thriller.
