I just finished this book and I'm not certain how I feel. There are parts I love. There are things I hate. It's a bleak story that unfolds nicely, sharing the main character's past bit by bit. It's a very slow tale and while it's been called a horror story, it's quiet and has more to do with despair than actual horror, I think. It's worth reading.

The main character is unlikable and has no character development. Slow drag.
