read the graphic novel adaptation by anyango, a horridly morbid story illustrated beautifully.

"a rapacious pitiless folly"

Amazing, concise, beautiful prose that does not sacrifice plot. A curiously morbid short story. Edgar Allan Poe forces the reader to emulate the same feelings of tension and intensity as experienced by the narrator, through masterful control of pace in his epic use of punctuation and sentence structures.

so much everywhere all at once

Interesting concept although it's not anything original. This book wasn't that bad I just hated all the selfloathing 'skinny is the goal' slutshamingness of the book. Just not the mindset I like and would want any influence from.

a short easy book to read. Nice writing style, don't usually enjoy the first person but this book did it nicely.

First quarter of the book is hard to read as its narrated in first person as the narrator grows up. Meaning the first quarter of the book is written like a little kid wrote it, which carries the story forward in a sense, but is also incredibly boring to read. I think this book is good for those who are not avid readers and don't expect brilliant prose. I'm rereading this book now as an adult but I will say the first time I read it as a teenager it did make me feel seen and safe, maybe I'm just not the target audience anymore.

some parts were really good but some parts were really slow

This book has such an interesting layout, all you think you know gets flipped sideways. And, once your hooked, you cannot do anything else but read until you get to the end.

amazing imagery evokes strong emotions

Easy to read, typical fantasy book.
