2.5

horrifying, disgusting, unsettling. every trigger warning you can think of. read in one sitting. great at eliciting emotion from the reader (mainly disgust), but also so extreme it comes off as unrealistic at times. it’s mainly giving torture p*rn with a loose plot, as i imagine most of his books are. if you want to read a book that will turn your stomach then this is the one.
