I like the writing, and was deeply invested at first but the ending was boring and rushed imo. This book is disturbing and will make you feel sick. Wish it ended differently because it lost my interest and changed the overall rating for me.
Congrats to Alissa Nutting for writing this despicable character so well that I, someone who enjoys a lot of dark fiction, couldn't finish it. I think it's probably an excellent book, but man, I just could not deal with the content.
alissa nutting makes sayaka murata look like nicholas sparks. this was easily the grossest book i've ever read, but nutting's unnerving vision and dedication to her characters made it a really engrossing read and makes me very excited to read her other works.
I can't rate this book.
I am revolted by the subject matter. the tone was so callous and disturbing. I found it very hard to read but at the same time couldn't stop because the author did an amazing job of maintaining such a captivating narrative through the unsettling plot.
however, I can't really tell what point the author was trying to make. sure, there were some interesting theming about the judicial system and victim blaming that inevitability happens in situations like these. BUT was it enough to make me believe that was the author's true intention in writing this? not really no.
in my opinion, it gave more “shock value” than anything and I don't necessarily gain anything from that in books personally. I feel like if you are crossing the lines that this book crosses, there needs to be a point and to me there just isn't a point valid enough to justify the absurdity.
so while I think the author is talented (and bold for even writing this) I wouldn't recommend this to literally anyone.
