My uncle told me to read this because the book was very tense and interesting (also terrifying, he says he couldn't sleep because of it).
In my opinion the start to middle part of the book was only mildly tense. As soon as I read 'Second Part' 2/3 through the book I knew things were going to escalate very quickly. Boi did it escalate.
Was it scary? No, not really. Was it sad, intense and a tad confusing? Absolutely. The last few chapters (and the epilogue) still have me confused as it is hard for me to conclude if everything I read actually happened or if it was all in Stefan's head.
All in all it was a pretty good book, I have a hard time getting through Dutch books yet this one was surprisingly easy to read.
A solid 4/5 stars
