I don't know how to feel about this book. ... I found it gripping, depressing, horrifying even, and I couldn't put it down. The ending was very meh but even then....it's going to haunt me. Would I recommend it? To psychology students, maybe. It's extremely dark. The characters aren't even likable and yet you might find yourself drawn in by them anyway. It's not very fast, but the way it was written kept me intrigued. Definitely not for everyone, and be warned before you go in - bring a flashlight and plenty of batteries, it's pitch black in there.
