Helpful Score: 3


Wow. Just... wow. This book is NOT for the faint of heart. Highly disturbing, intensely graphic. You'll actually wince as you walk through the twisted mind - and acts - of a psychopath. The literary style is a bit disjointed and the style wasn't my favorite. Regardless, the imagery from this book lingers in your mind after you read it. I don't recommend reading this book but I don't NOT recommend it either. It all depends on your tolerance for violence I suppose.
