I know many people love this book and it is often recommended in horror groups, but it was just not the book for me. It is decently written but I found myself getting bored with a lot of the character's introspection and flashbacks. I was also expecting a creature feature-type book but this is really a more body-horror-style book which is just not my cup of tea and isn't something that generally tends to scare me. Ultimately, I did finish the book as I wanted to see where it was going, but overall left me disappointed and I didn't really like the ending.
