first half was incredible, then I lost interest for nearly all of the second half, with only a few moments that perked me back up. Obviously a very dark and complex storyline, the character development of HH was fascinating while simultaneously renewing and grotesque. Very gross themes; the reader oscillates between understanding and disgust.
