Grim grim grim
Bleak, sad, nihilistic. Well written but emotionally had to tap out.

I bought this book after hearing that it was "the most disturbing book ever" and yes, that is a very subjective thing, but damn - this book was so repetitive, slow, and bleak, I can't believe I made it through. It was grim and the mc was a very hopeless figure, but other than that, I found it drab, boring, and totally forgettable. It is out of print and super hard to find, but trust me - it's not worth the effort.
