oh wow. when I first heard about this book, the people discussing it said it was scary. the room got quiet and chills ran down spines. I instantly wanted to read it. I was lucky enough to have been given an early copy and oh my goodness.

the story is very well written. the plot is fluid and understandable. despite its references to Milton's Paradise Lost and the academic protagonist, you don't need to be a scholar to enjoy it.

as for the scare factor, its definitely there. there are moments when I was reading that I had to put it down and breathe. but at the same time I didn't want to put it down.


amazing work. I'd definitely recommend.
