This book has brought me out of a long reading slump. So far, this is the only book this year that I feel like I can’t put down, all the others took way too long for me to read bc they were missing something. Haven’t gotten far in, but so far I could see this being a five star rating. Jack’s childhood though … what a freak😬

I just started reading this today and I'm hooked!

"All my life I’ve been looking for monsters. I wish I’d been a butterfly enthusiast instead.”

"...one thing I can tell you is that looking at your own grief is a lot like looking at the sun. You can't do it for very long before it screws up your vision. Sometimes permanently."

My heart is broken for Cindy the Chimp, this book overall is just very heartbreaking, but Cindy being alone thinking she did something wrong has me teary-eyed. I hope there's some sort of happy ending in this book, and I'm glad my professor assigned this reading to us, just sad to see so much grief :(

wow this book is amazing so far, every chapter has me on the edge of my seat, this book is beyond creepy, loving it :)

First time reading a work by Kafka (had to for class) and well now I'm depressed lol. I've heard Kafka is known for writing depressing pieces so not too surprised that this is the outcome of this story, it was well-done despite it being a tragic tale.

Have to read this for a class but honestly it Is very interesting. Super creepy beginning, and where I'm at now is very strange/disturbing. My professor warned us about an unsatisfying ending so hoping that doesn't change my experience with this book, bc so far I really like it.
