This book was deeply disturbing. I have read and reread the copyright page to verify that it was a work of fiction, but quite frankly I can’t imagine anyone just making this up. It was a good novel though. I would not recommend it just because of its gruesomeness. However, I would not discourage someone from reading it if they brought it up.

I was shocked by what this book had to offer. I understand why a lot of people don't like this book (the content can be quite graphic and overly-sexual), but I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I would recommend giving this a read with the audiobook!

What on EARTH is this. I borrowed this from the library (thank goodness I didn't spend actual money on this) and honestly, the first page or so really gripped me. When I read the first paragraph about

emotionally hurting girls to purposefully cripple them, demean them and demoralise them

I thought that I was really getting into the dark side of the human condition and was genuinely intrigued by what the main character did to them. But after the first few pages, it was massively deflating and I didn't feel like it had much substance to it. I felt so disappointed and to be honest, it was a complete waste of my time.
