Customer Reviews

Flopped for me

This book only began to get interesting after page 100. Alot of parts were long winded and seemed to drag on. I was really trying to give it a chance but the ended just ruined it for me. There was this big build up to something huge and it fell flat.

An adventure into a nightmare

A twisty and bizarre journey in book form. I couldn't put it down. For those who love a good, atmospheric story of weirdness and eerie events. It's one of my favorites.

Very Heavy-Handed

This story comes across as if the author does not trust their audience to piece together clues on their own, and instead makes each hint at the upcoming "plot twist" as overt as possible. This was frustrating, because there was so much potential in this story and I truly enjoyed most of the storytelling. I know many people have reviewed this book and think it is a fantastic read, so it is definitely worth a shot if you enjoy a good thriller. However, if you are the type of person that can usually see a plot twist coming, this book may be underwhelming for you.

Best book I've read all year by far

absolutely incredible book, it left me feeling unsettled and very satisfied with the ending. probably not a book to read in the dark alone, or maybe you should just to enhance the unease:)

Fantastic

I read this because I found out Charlie Kaufman is directing a film adaptation for Netflix of this book. Now it’s one of my favorites.

love love loved it!!

I have not read a book like this ever. Very well written and a fantastic ending. I found myself in the female role and I could relate well to the book itself. I would and have recommended this book to anyone who wants a weird, twisty book.
