a skilled writer delivering pointless awfulness
At the top of the list of worst books I've ever read.
The characters had absolutely no redeeming features
I thought it would be a horror tale that would be great for Halloween
I couldn't relate to any of the characters in the story. As a matter of fact, I didn't like any of them.
well written, well constructed and kept me gripped page by page - but it was a loathsome experience
a sordid study of a grubby psychopathic personality of no merit or interest at all
I ordered this product and ended up with a Cuban poetry book. 😦
I would burn my copy if I could. Unfortunately, it is electronic,
I bought it because it's a story about psychopath. Well its not!
Miserable characters, childish writing, and pointless violence
Perhaps reading should expose us to such things but
I like mysteries, including murder mysteries, but
I've rarely had this negative reaction to a book

I absolutely hated this book.
Found it a thoroughly book
violent, mad and depraved
Misogynistic, pretentious
This book is simply BAD

contains sick cruelty
blowing up animals
vulgar and uncouth

Drunks beware!
Poorly written
straight fiction
twisted mind
Well written
