Very conflicted on how to rate this. I feel haunted by this book.
It was an amazing, captivating, awful read. At times I couldn't put it down and at times I wished that I could. If you enjoyed Cormac McCarthy's "Child of God" this might be a good choice for you due to the subject matter and innate unfriendliness of the text.
I would not recommend this book to anyone I know.
