DISCLAIMER - I read this text as a set text for university meaning I did not pick this up for myself. It does not fit my usual reading selection so my review may be rather biased.
This was an interesting text. A very repetitive nature and yet it never got dull. It was more unsettling than scary which in a way is worse? A lot of the plot was disjointed which made it difficult to understand what was going on - which in itself is the whole point.
Overall I enjoyed this book but it was middling.
