Don't think I'd recommend this book if you're looking for a horror, there are parts that are truly shocking but I just didn't get the point of the whole book. I followed that being a teenage girl is a painful time but didn't get why the pack did what they did, makes no sense. For a strong literary idea the ending was weak, what happened to them? I don't know, I'm a bit torn, great idea but didn't really go anywhere. Two and a bit stars! I really should have liked this. I love horror books that explore the dark and vicious corners of female experience. I loved all the previous Lindqvist books I read.But I struggled with this one. I kept putting it down and reading other books.My main problems with it were these:- Lindqvist works very hard to capture the thoughts and experiences of outcast girls, and mostly does well, but at the most important times it doesn't ring true.- The writing was much more clumsy than I have come to expect. It may have been a poor translation. But there was far too much telling and repetition for my tastes.I still finished it, but I thought it could have been better.

Ну, знаете, даже расчлененка тут всех не спасла.

Started out great but soon spiralled down. Really bad second half.

An incredibly strange, but nonetheless compelling read.
