Huh. I don't know what to make of this book. It wasn't that good, but it had the potential to be great. I had heard it was "very sick", but I didn't think it was all that bad. Yeah, it had animal cruelty and then the bit with the maggots, but nothing too major. The story itself is disjointed, confusing and the "surprise" ending is well... it falls very very flat. I finished it simply because I wanted to know the end, which I guess is the point, but I didn't find it to be all that entertaining.
