Ghost Eaters is beautiful and brutal with glorious writing. I underlined quite a few passages in this book. It's a book about addiction told in a way I've never experienced before. It's gory, meaty, and still has heart. If you want an easy read, this isn't the book for you, but if you want to delve into something substantial told in a unique way, definitely pick it up.

Overall good easy read. Storyline was pretty original in my opinion. Only downside was a couple of slow build ups.

I enjoyed parts of this book but I felt it was very repetitive and ran on. The detail in the story is really great! I would recommend.
