The Cellar

I can't do it. I can't read this book. When I reached the part about 20-25 pages in where the author starts describing a just released convict invading a home, murdering the parents, and molesting the daughter, I could not continue. Disgusting and unnecessary as it was implied earlier that this person was a child molester. This was just unnecessary graphic detail that was NOT needed. Based on THAT alone, I will never pick up another book by this author.

There's plenty to dislike about this book, whether it's the grossly hypersexualized female lead, the laughable character names (Judgment Rucker. Lol), the pro-carceral themes, but the central premise of the Beast House, which I won't give away here, is so absurd and funny that I ended up enjoying the book overall.
