5.0

I would like to get every single word of this book tattooed on my body. It is the type of book that will wake you (i.e. me) up at 2am because you’ve just had a realization. It is a fascinating character study. If you like morally gray characters, you will love this book. Additionally, if you like books where you feel like everything is falling apart and getting progressively worse but you can’t do anything to stop it so you just have to sit there in dreadful awe and watch—then you will love this book.
