This book was challenging to read in two ways: the story itself was very dark and emotionally tense, and the writing style was a bit difficult to read, especially for dialogue as it was written "as spoken" so it took a bit of time to get used to it. However, the fact that it was written in this way ended up playing in its favor, as it added more realism to the story and you could really picture the characters and almost hear then speak as though you were there, experiencing all of the sad and frightening events with them.
