Not as challenging as I anticipated it to be. A pleasant read for those who surround themselves with darkness. For those whose reflections are not dark by nature, or those whose aesthetic is simply more lighthearted, it will certainly drag you into a very uncomfortable, but ultimately, rewarding place. The translation was solid. The biggest thing I got out of this book is a haunting fear of ever finding myself in a position to commit such heinous acts and a revitalized sense of love for my family, whom I owe everything to.
