Oh boy. This book got under my skin a little too well, which is why it took so long for me to finish a pretty short book. I had to put it down a lot. The rating is low mostly because although it made me shiver and shrink away, I don't feel like the overall substance of the book was overly great. It was fine, don't get me wrong, but it didn't hold up as well as I had hoped.
