Wow this is one of the most depressing novels I have ever read and it really haunts me with its vivid description. However, it takes me a long time to like the narrative style. It is about a serial killer but somehow there were boring bits in there - not the history bit, but somehow, the way the first person narrative plays out is kinda boring. I can't really relate too much with our main character, and only a little bit with Dr. Kreisler. He is interesting. I want more of him. And I want more of Sara's past too. Overall the book was very great until the ending. I don't know but the whole thing involved Connor and other criminals were too much and it ruined it. I want something more horrendous, more shocking, more scary to take place but instead the killer (view spoiler)[ is just shot clean and died. Kinda boring (hide spoiler)]. Other than that this novel is solid.
