This book starts out with a bang. But then it quickly sank into a feast of gore. (Perfect for hard-core horror genre readers). Personally, I would much have preferred less fixation on the graphic imagery.
After about 20-25 pages I wanted to quit because of the imagery, but I couldn’t. I found myself diving back into the story; I was hooked! I did like reading the doctors' notes. I was curious as to what possible diagnosis Patient Joe could be given.
There is absolutely no way I would have guessed where this story was going. It is creepy, scary, suspenseful, horrifying. If you can’t handle dark books, don’t come near this one. A short, quick read.
Warning – There is one scene of animal abuse. I quickly jumped over that.
