I can recognize that this is a well-done book but I really did not enjoy it 

A little disturbing, but always entertaining. I picked this up on a whim and really enjoyed it.

DNF I tried but *sigh* reading this was like a chore, I wasn't creeped out I wasn't disgusted I was BORED, maybe it's because I gave up too soon? I don't know I'll try reading it again but for now I just cannot. 2 stars instead of 1 because I didn't finish and I can't give something 1 star until I finish.

DID NOT FINISH

All I remember about trying to read this book (almost ten years ago) is that it made me feel vaguely nauseated the entire time I read it. I don't even remember exactly what it was (the character descriptions, maybe?), but I do not have any desire to try reading it again.

holy shit

Fabulous book. One of the only ones I've ever remembered reading that was beautiful and disturbing at the same time.
