Maybe I'm wrong for not liking this. But really, the spacing of the graphic and disgusting (recaps of) 'sexual' events were anything but justified. There's plenty of artistic ways to show darkness and disturb your readers, but this book is truly a one and done for me. A fine way to fuck up your evening, and I will admit, It was entertaining and I found myself drawn to certain aspects.
