Wow! The second half of this book is intense. The first half was a bit dense & slow. But the end definitely made up for any slow parts imo.

I felt this book was so brave. It discussed important issues that many of us face. A really moving read.

I read this years ago & there is still one scene that has stuck with me. It is creepy & the horror at times is overwhelming.  However, it is dense & very slow at times. It is great at showing the breakdown of people in a bad situation. By the end, I really only liked one or two people.
