I loved this book so much. the writing style is captivating to me. the plunge into strangeness in the body was awesome and when it got cultlike and false idols and the mask on the door my god i love that. the imagery is amazing i can picture every set in the book so photographically clearly and the voice & character of nicholas are very compelling to me. every character is compelling to me & i love the satire it’s so funny & the emphasis on how pathetic and miserable it all is really ups the enjoyability. it’s interesting to observe a guy who clearly in his head cares a lot about almost all the people around him treat them all kind of like shit while physically being taken over by something beyond comprehension in the service closet. kind of spectacular actually. there’s commentary on so much in here & it seemed at the same time fast paced and always something happening and the visuals are just sooo crazy. half point off 'cos the very ending threw me slightly but really i just loved this book. i’m reading skin directly after this .. peace and love
