I am too lazy to write a proper review of this book, plus its been out for over 20 years that I feel it really doesn't need one. Anyway I love everything about this book, EXCEPT for the unnecessary sex scenes and mentions which at first I could ignore but later became just plain annoying and even a little disgusting, but I could get past this since I seriously loved everything else about the book. But seriously, someone could edit them all out and it wouldn't make an ounce of difference. Aside all that, this book quickly became one of my favorites and I love how challenging and weird it is. Definitely not for people looking for something lighthearted to read in a couple of days, it can get VERY heavy and tense and I actually got very weird dreams and sometimes even nightmares during my time of reading it. However, don't let this deter you from the haunting treat that it is.
PS. Johnny gets on my fricking nerves though and quite frankly he was so unlikeable I wasn't rooting for him at all even when he was on the brink of just ending it all.
