Ah, I remember the gore now that you mention it. It must be hard for you, hope doesnt unsettle you.

It's hard to get my feelings into words but the gore doesn't bother me much in the usual way (getting nightmares, feeling nauseous etc). It's just too much, it's repetitive and boring. It's like with any other book that goes on and on about something shallow or insubstantial, I just don't like it. My time is precious, it feels like it's going to waste with these endless descriptions.

Humm... I think I get you. In broader sense that was my impression about the whole book.

Yes, I read your review. It made me feel a little better about not ejoying a book that everyone else seems to love.

Ah, well, I am relieved I am not the only baffled by it hahaha.

I didn't read the book yet, but this is actually how I feel about gore too - just what is the point? It can be effective if there is just a little of it, well written, but full book/movie of gore? Just why would I spend my time with that?

Because it is fuuuuuuuuuuun... for some people. I like gore in movies, but the overly top, no the serious one hahaha. But to the point, it was very serious here. I didnt mind it particularly, it was just an element more. But it can be very distressing and pointless.

I don't especially mind gore but it just doesn't do anything to me. So when there is nothing else, I'm usually bored. I'm actually more susceptible to subtler... like there was this scene in Down Comes the Night where (view spoiler)[the MC is about to perform a surgery with a goal to remove someone's eyes and... 🤢 that WAS extremely sickening and the aim wasn't even to torture the person... (hide spoiler)]

Ah, serious gore. That one hahaha

Considering that i often think horrors are funny, I might be into comedic gore, who knows... 😂

Yep! That´s the spirit actually 🤣
