Well, wow, wow, wow, this book was so much more than I expected. I was kind of blown away by the richness of the prose and the morbid fascination with the story. Sometime I would like to read the annotated version as I'm sure a good 75% of the literary illusions floated right over my head. I'll definitely have to read this again sometime as there is sooooo much to take in. ...more

Wow. It's a strange feeling to be amazed at both how good and how creepy a book can be at the same time. Add to that the AWESOME narrator of the audio book version, and it's a recipe for a GREAT read/listen. Wow. I'm still trying to process everything. This really was a GREAT book, and for sure in the top five of books read this year for me. ...more
