Phew-glad I’m done with this one! He does a brilliant job at making the reader feel trapped in the little cellar room. I couldn’t put the book down if only to escape myself. Great writing-to see the plot and main character 
Is distasteful is an understatement, but it don’t let that keep you away from the book.
