I have never been so scared by a book before. I was in my living room, under the Christmas tree, all the lights on, the family hanging out nearby, and was terrified and had to stop reading. It's an amazing feat but I can't say I enjoyed it, lol! This book is brilliant, with LOST-level deep diving available for the devoted, and a tense gripping story even if you're just reading on the surface. Amazing.
