My rating is higher than I really want to put because while I don't particularly like what I read, I have to appreciate how the author managed to write this. This story is nuts! My face was constantly in a contorted and cringed position while reading. Once you thought the story couldn't get any weirder or worse, it does! Be prepared for an absolute rollercoaster with this, go in with a very open mind and brace yourself for what the author will throw at you. Behind all the craziness are actually some important themes that frame the story.
