Having watched the movie ahead of time it made the book come alive even more so reading it. This was a super fast paced and gory read which expands upon the movie to take us into an evil underworld and shows us how far humans will go to achieve the good things they feel they are owed. Not my typical horror read as I would have liked a bit more time with the characters but I did enjoy it for the most part.
