This book actually made me gag. I’ve never read anything quite as graphically unnerving. I almost didn’t finish because of the physical reaction I had to the book. I honestly am still confused about the ending. I had a hard time rating this book, since I was confused for a lot of it. I gave it a 4 due to the physical reactions I had and how genuinely scared I felt for a while after reading

3.0

This book was a wild ride. What's real? What was in his mind? What was that ending? What is going on. I liked the book, the slow decent into madness. The creative gore was a bit farfetched at times, but not bad. I REALLY don't like animal deaths in books, so I was not a huge fan of that. Sometimes the timeline got really confusing. What was a flashback? What was real life? Did this story even really end? The ending left a few too many loose ends in my opinion. But, it was a well written book.
