Is it wrong of me to like it? Maybe. But I did like it.
The book is basically just a trauma-porn about broken people but elevated to the extreme. I couldn't for the life of me look away from the pages, so captivating and horribly bizzare the content was.
I guessed the ending 50-60 pages in, but I've watched (and loved to bits) Gozu by Takashi Miike, so it was the least shocking thing to me in this whole book.
Read all the trigger warnings carefully. They are here and they are very real.
