I love everything about this book! I liked how the story was told in split perspectives, how mysterious what happened in the submarine was, how Miri dealt with her grievances, and all the interesting little ocean/animal facts thrown throughout the book. It was such a nice read!

The Husband Stitch, Eight Bites, and Inventory were my favorite stories in this collection. The rest of the stories are good but they won't stick with me as much as the others will. I'm not sure how to feel about Especially Heinous, maybe it is more interesting for people who know Law and Order. The format of how the story was told was interesting but confusing.

There are so many questionable things in this book. The story was wonderful though and very tense, once the story started to pick up it was hard to put down. The racism in the book and the weird sexual instances were so random though. While the racism could be explained as another way that the hotel was evil, it feels unnecessary.

The beginning of the book was interesting and felt fast-paced, but I started to lose interest halfway through the book. It is most likely due to personal preferences, but at a certain point in the book everything felt very repetitive and the ending felt rushed. Also, the weird incestuous relationship between Hannibal and Lady Murasaki just made it hard to get through certain parts of the book.

Book was good and managed to keep me interested the whole time but the ending was weird. While the relationship between Clarice and Dr. Lecter was being built up throughout the story the ending just ruined her entire character.
