  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

body horror to the max. the descriptions in this book made my stomach turn. the characters (in particular Jeff) were hard to read about and empathize with but i appreciate the slower pace this book chooses to take in relation to other horror novels. overall it was an interesting read and i finished the last 200 pages in like 4 hours because i was just hooked.
