I rated this a two because the story is well written, it is the content that disgusted me. When I read some of the reviews, I saw horror, I have read horror books and I enjoy some of them. This one passed the horror level and went diving right into things I did not expect. There was mental illness and child abuse of such an extreme nature that it was disgusting. The story begins very mildly and you do not expect what you are coming to when it begins. Truly not a book for anyone who does not find the abuse of a child to be entertainment, as I certainly do not. I am not prudish and I understand things happen in this world that are just this disgusting, I just do not choose to find them entertaining. I am sorry that I ordered this book.
