* TrueArtIsAngsty: The book has the dubious distinction of painting such a bleak, remorseless picture of the inner workings of human cruelty that it directly contributed to the early death of its own author. Many of its readers have felt the same. It really ''is'' that angsty.

Not enough context. By definition, the MEH can only be crossed once.


* MoralEventHorizon: Every time it's crossed, you think the kids can't cross it again. Then they do.

* BrokenBase: The book itself. Is it...
** A sadistic example of TorturePorn, with a brutal ending and nonstop AuthorAppeal?
** Or...a TrueArtIsAngsty type exploration of the connection between peer pressure and violence?

* {{Squick}} - Lots of it. LOTS of it. The reason so many reviews are split on whether this book is a masterpiece of disturbing horror, or just disturbing. The one thing every single review of this book seems to agree on, is that it is disturbing.

* FetishFuel. Goes without saying, although whether the author's intent was to indulge in it or deconstruct it isn't all that clear.



* LoveItOrHateIt - Many people hate it, finding it incredibly disturbing. Those who aren't turned away tend to love it for its application of that same quality.
