This one was a wild ride. A dark, twisted, uncomfortable, and confusing ride but one I gladly would do again. For such a small book there is so much in it. Every sentence layered with so many undescribable emotions, meanings or intentions. In the end there are no final conclusions, only the remains of glass shattered. Read up on the TW please.
