That was a wild ride of Maeve's decent into madness as her world crumbles around her. It's compelling and disturbing at the same time, and definitely not for the faint of heart or squimish. This book mixes old Hollywood glamor with classic horror flick to make the Frankensteins monster of a book. While the prose may be off-putting to some as it's a bit long winded and Maeve has a superiority complex, it makes the book seem so much more surreal.
