The best feature of this book is the way it looks both inside and out. Staged to look just like an Ikea book, with maps, order forms and all this story was an easy read though a bit disturbing at times.
I don't read horror often, but after having heard about this from several people in separate conversations this book made it on my radar. So when I found it in my bookstore I had to pick it up. I'm very glad I waited to find a physical copy instead of reading the e-book as I was planning. Highly recommend reading it this way.
The plot was ok, with a twist ending that made me doubt everything. The characters were a bit unlikable to me, making it hard for me to care what happens to them. Despite that I was intrigued to see what would happen to them next.
It was a short, interesting and weirdly fun (though disturbing) read. Happy to have picked this one up.
