So far this is the most disturbing book I have ever read! If you can get through the first 30% then you’ll get through the rest.

Reason for low score was simply because I just didn’t enjoy the direction the plot and story went in after the first 50% and found it a little repetitive at times. Also just felt like the racial slur at the end was unnecessary?? I Understand that extreme horror is supposed to have no limits, but I just don’t think it was needed as it didn’t contribute anything to the story just felt like it was plonked on the page for shock factor??
