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.

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

An incredibly strange, but nonetheless compelling read.
