I’m still not really sure how I feel about this book, I think it fell short for me. There were a few well written lines but overall I think the translation ruins the whole atmosphere of the book. Really not as dark as I would be lead to believe, and far too much sexual assault than any book should reasonably contain. The last few lines were the best part of the whole book.
