I've decided that stream of consciousness narratives aren't my favourite writing style.
That said, it's absolutely vital for this story so was worth persevering with. As with a lot of SGJ there's unsaid things at the end that you have to infer, but when you realise - well, it's a great twist.
This is violent, gory, gross and messy in so many ways. As with a lot of SGJ's books it won't work for all and this one definitely took me up to the limits of what I'm OK reading especially from a body horror perspective.
