I've read gory disgusting messes of books before that have you gritting your teeth, I didn't get that once with this book. Classics are classics for a reason and this book does not deserve the hype it gets. I heard this was the 'best grimdark ever created' well for me it's probably the worst, yeah I get it was written in the 80's however that's no excuse. I know I'm in the minority here however this book is so hugely overrated in my opinion.

But I'm not even sorry this one got the can. I RARELY DNF books it saddens me to do it. I tried forcing myself to love this, however my rating on the book kept getting lower & lower until it reach a 'no star' rating, that's when I threw in the towel. I'm sorry I truly tried, however I just didn't care about anything & the writing *shudders*. I, However, can safely say I was wrong and that I absolutely loathed reading this. I'm actually really sad about this DNF, I wanted to love this book and before I even read it, I knew it was going to be a four or five star read because of the reviews on it & that blurb sounds goddamn amazing.
