iamthez 's review for:

Exoskeleton by Shane Stadler
4.0

A physicist by trade, this is his first novel and all I want to know is: who hurt him?

I have been seeing this book kicking around body horror rec threads and thought I’d finally try it. Wow. Did not disappoint. Just when you think our poor protag has had enough, nope — in come the hornets. Literally.

A very interesting story about pain, the limits of our body, and what do you have left when you have nothing?

I love body horror as much as the next fan but there was something so unique about this torture. Maybe it was the relentless pace, or maybe it was the complete unknowns we were thrown into. Whatever it is, I loved it.
