I loved this book. The protagonist Odd was dark and mysterious. This book was just punch-by-punch for him. Slowly gripping him and breaking the character down. There were intense moment all over ever chapter more and more captivating than the last. The only thing I disliked was my guilt for loving it. I felt guilty because I enjoyed how the main character was methodically torn apart. And the ending? Sadest that I have read and yet one of the best.”
“I thought the writing was good at times and often funny, but the story dragged along in the middle. I will not look for another by this author.”
