From the very beginning of this book, I was hooked by its strange events and occurrences. I hate the "Hallmark" mentality of having a plot line so basic that you know the ending from the very beginning. I started reading this book not knowing what to expect and was very intrigued. At the very first of many plot twists I was completely engaged in this disturbing but captivating story line. I think my favorite line was still in the very beginning when Clara spoke out during Mass and was accused of being possessed. This strange, unpredictable, and slightly mortifying novel has made me laugh many times but has also made me cringe and be filled with anticipation of what is going to happen next. One thing I am slightly confused about is why Esteban Garcia did not attempt to kill Esteban Trueba when he had the chance. I am not sure what is meant to come from the series of events between those two but I am sure that it is most likely going to be something unexpected. Honestly, I really am kind of just shocked by the sheer randomness of this plot-line. I just don't know what to say about the book or what I found interesting because this book is just interesting to me in its entirety.

That captures exactly how I feel about this novel. The content is ravenous and horrid, yet everything changes so often, it hooks you. It's a lot like our world today. Even though we see how terrible and morbid that it is, we still can fall prey to the same desires.
