bookbearreads 's review for:

Playground by Aron Beauregard
5.0

Ok, so trigger warning: Everything

This is not a book I would recommend to people with a weak stomach. It is splatterpunk which is highly aggressive horror. This makes me think if SAW, Hostile and a Serbian Film had a child and gave it steroids.

The concept is interesting which is what drew me to it as well as the constant reviews of people either loving or hating it. Yes pages 40-46 are rough but get past them and everything else is pretty expected if you know what the book is about.

I don't think I'll be delving into this genre again but if you're up for a challenge, you could go read this but make sure you have a palette cleanser book on the ready.

Update:
I dove hard into this genre and now Aron is one of my favorite authors.
