This was so very difficult for me to comprehend at times, I had to go back through and reread some of it because I would finish a chapter and just go "huh". With that said, it was very good, ended much happier than I anticipated. Definitely a good story but be prepared.

This was a difficult book for me to get through due to the body horror, descriptions of rot, multiple instances of someone pissing and the main character describing the sound and or smell and or feel of the urine.
