This book needs a trigger warning. I went into the book thinking it would just be kinda weird. Weird isn’t the word to describe this book. It’s genuinely disturbing. It contains a detailed account of child abuse, incest, and cannibalism. I don’t think the reviews on the back of the book at all describe what occurs in it. Every time I thought I was at the worst part of the book, it just kept getting worse.
That said, I think the book exposes society for being exactly what it is. If you’re okay with being disturbed deeply to your core, I’d recommend the book. It’s not for the faint of heart.

Yeah….the ending and the vividness of some of those descriptions are WILD. I don’t know what your nationality is, but the Japanese are just a different breed with some of their horror (said with total respect).
I don’t know if I really “liked” the book, but it does raise the exact kind of questions I love to explore. Like, are some people born broken, or as a culture do we cultivate villains? A combination of both?
I felt really bad for everyone……dark. Shivering now that you’ve reminded me of it
