I loved the brotherhood of mutilation and wish he had expanded upon that part more rather than the Paul's and the carnage of part 3. I found the investigation to be the most interesting part of the story while the rest felt a little rushed to me

Top 10 grossest book I've ever read in my life. It made me want to vomit and was so sick and twisted. But I found it incredibly interesting because of how messed up it was.

Many descriptions of amputation for religious purposes. People also removing prosthetics. Self amputation happens as well. Please be aware this is very graphic and meant to be disturbing

Well that was intense. I usually am a sucker for world-building, but the absence of it here makes Last Days an extraordinarily claustrophobic and exhilarating work of fiction. The scariest aspect of this book is that the cult depicted in it may seem a bit implausible at first, but when you think about it... there are worse groups in the real world. Aside from its overly bleak tone, Last Days has perfect pacing, nut-jobs for characters, and an apt ending.
