4.0

this book was wild. the way the author portrays the spiraling descent into chaos strung throughout the story from the eyes of the main character was original and haunting. the imagery is fascinating and disturbing simultaneously. the way Ito pulls you into this town and continually surprises you with new and horrific ways that the spiral ruins lives is breathtaking and worthy of praise. a curving journey of suspense and awe. Definitely recomend. I'll be looking at his other work very soon.
