A review by onescrambledegg

dark funny medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.25

A great read, but not really for the faint hearted, a lot of the chapters (especially the later ones) are very graphic and explicit, with detailed torture etc. I read an online analysis for every chapter online, as it's very in depth, no doubt a classic with very interesting messages!
