But I think my favourite part is that it reads like a text from the 18th century. I've read a lot of Victorian literature for both school and for fun, so I'm very familiar with the writing style of the time. I had to double check that this book was actually written in the 1980s - you could've fooled me.

”And suddenly he knew that he had never found gratification in love, but always only in hatred—in hating and being hated.”
Moderate: Violence and Death
Minor: Cannibalism and Torture
cannibalism only happens at the very end and its extremely symbolic - its not a very graphic depiction, just climacticliv_31's review against another edition
