Reviews

[Nikki · Rating 5 out of 5]

Weird AF, made me feel genuine concern for the main character, but the story stuck with me.

[Tommy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Less personality than MYORAR but bluntly disturbing and atmospherically off-putting, which works

[Lily Zylstra · Rating 5 out of 5]

My favorite book I’ve read this year. A masterclass in storytelling to be sure! This book is dark and gruesome without feeling unnecessarily so. I loved the growth that each character experiences throughout the story. The ending felt earned and satisfying.

Moshfegh explores some wonderful themes in this book that get you thinking about our own modern society.

[Shannon · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked how disturbed all of the characters were. Interesting religious references. I love the way Moshfegh describes the characters looks and motives. Wish the ending was more dramatic, but it was still satisfying.

Great world-building….. until it plateaus. This story felt truly meaningless with upsetting imagery that imparted no new knowledge or perspective whatsoever. Had good potential, just did not measure up.
