This may be my current favorite all around novel. There are so many things at play here that are just so unavoidably interesting and curious. I wouldn't say you go through the same descent as the main character because that's reductive of that the book is doing in general, but it's hard not to notice yourself carrying the same sort of nonchalance for the increasingly brutal ongoings, it's hard not to be transfixed frankly and there's much to think about.
