I listened to this book as an audiobook and really enjoyed it; I especially liked the voices used by the narrator, that really added to the story. I feel like this book is hard to describe without spoiling it but it felt kind of boring or more so calm? I am not sure what word to use but, despite the slow boring plot, there was always something that was odd and unsettling.

Some good examples are the way Jake doesn't answer some of his girlfriends questions about weird things going on, the tour of the farm and the dead sheep, the chickens/ hens and the one that was eating an egg, or when the girlfriend went to the bathroom and the slippers switched positions. Also the basement portion??? like what were those freaky drawings about, is the figure Jake and the child Jake like WHAT. Just some really odd shit going on. The twist at the end was kinda wacky, idk what I was expecting but it wasn't that. I think my favorite part of listening to the audio book was the part where "the girlfriend's" voice blends into Jakes and the repetitive "what are you waiting for?" omg it gave me chills, worth the listen if you just read the book for real.

. Anyway fun listen/read! Gonna watch the movie now.
