5.0
It took me a bit to get into the book, but then I absolutely adored it.
I appreciated the sense of dread and how although the horror stands on its own as a good story, it also works so damn well as an allegory for our times.
I love the good characters, all of whom also have flaws.
Book is told from point of view of multiple characters - some good, some bad.
I also appreciate the author's note at the end where he talks a bit about the book and then also lists some other authors whose work he enjoys.
"Friends are a light in dark times. We try to be brighter together so that the darkness doesn't take us alone." (p193)
