This book was grotesque and I had a hard time getting through it, but it was still well-written and gave some of the answers I wanted about Area X. It was just so brutal and vulgar, a true horror. Though it was a prequel, it was a grand finale to this series. There are some parts I hope dearly never to dream about.
