I will not be your human idol, your little goddess of suffering. 

A beautiful, grotesque myth. One that strips itself down to the bone and gristle without a care if you have the stomach for it. It’s not something I’ll be forgetting for a long time. I’ve never seen themes like these handled so well but then, I think you have to be willing to go places that I’ve only really seen this book go.
