I get the shock value, I get the examination of fanatic internet forums, but I simply am not the target audience for this. Thank fuck for that.

This book was weird and gross and graphic and violent and I loved it. I had no idea who was what and what was happening for most of the book but in the most addictive way. It was such a fast read. I couldn't put it down.

what if it was all a dream but like it was a fucked up reddit thread, i felt dirty after reading as if i was an accomplice to all their acts which is what i think the author wanted to portray. i know it as its great potential as a story, and i want to give the merit of this novel as an unconventional and mesmerizing piece of fiction, though the uneasiness was too evident for me to not enjoy it as a whole, i could not keep myself off it. idk if cooper is a genius or just what the fuck bro.

what a way to pick me up from my prose reading slump

i can’t even rate it. i finished it in one sitting but this was by far one of the most disturbing books i have read in my life. i don’t recommend it to ANYONE especially if you’re not mentally prepared. it’s extremely dark and the author does a great job at making us uncomfortable. and it’s also very very very graphic
