yes the narrator is absolutely unreliable and insufferable.

i don't like the way the author has explored the theme of rape and violence,
it has been built up to an unnecessary and unsatisfactory crescendo and seems a
haphazard, insincere attempt at most.

i can understand the ending, but the added theme of supernatural suspense was
absolutely inessential.

i can see that she's letting the entire truth of what happened consume her entirely
and she's killing off the narcissistic, unloving, selfish people who call themselves
writers. people who are supposed to inspire love aren't very lovely themselves.

but this could all be happening in her mind, and we will never know.

needless to say i did not enjoy this book. it's a very different genre to what i usually
read. but i would not like to read another book by this author if all of them follow the
same pattern.

there are some good quotes and food for thought and ideas that the book provokes.
the writing feels like the author was thinking this is very clever but didn't manage to
give us any actual substance.
