I do not think there is any doubt the author wants to make his readers uncomfortable. It was clear from the start that I was meant to feel unsettled and awkward. I wanted out. I did not want to live in this dystopian world, nor did I want to witness it from afar.
The storyteller, however, had different plans for me.
Not ot only was I uncomfortable, I was attracted to these negative feelings! I was drawn into this novel just as much as I wanted out of it!
I know this review does not offer much in terms of context, but after getting over my initial shock of being pulled in two directions, I need to reread the novel.
This is book is absolutely not for everybody, but if you are attracted to the unattractive, I strongly recommend you pick yourself up a copy.

I received this book in exchange for an honest and open review.
