This book is amazing. It definitely isn't for everyone; you're going to be exposed to crude and abusive language and experiences being told by the narrator/mc himself. However, if you're able to get past the intentionally disgusting and dislikable mc, you're dropped within a story of pain, suffering, and revenge as you explore power dynamics within abusive and manipulative relationships and how trauma and pain can manifest its way as a projection onto other people; along with the unexpected switches between the predator and the prey.

Definitely a book that requires looking past outward characterization to truly understand and grasp the depth by exploring how such a vile and despicable being attempts to justify himself and redeem himself by expressing his pain when being faced with similar treatment to his own. The irony is what brings this book together.

I DNFed this one just because the author's style or writing felt immature and it was hard for me to ignore. I'll probably give it another chance one day.

I couldn't finish it. The book is wonderfully written. The amount of thought and detail that goes into each and every moment is insane and impressive beyond what I've ever seen. However, that's what made it impossible for me to finish. Many of the scenes actually made me physically uncomfortable and disturbed.
