Dark Water

I'm a bit all over the place with the one, you could possibly say pleasantly disturbed. In a nutshell, this is a gothic horror, a tale of sailing, forbidden desires, survival, fishing and cannibalism. It's about humanity stripped back to it's basest level. How low would you go to survive? How low would you go to protect the one you love?

For the most part, hugely entertaining, but If there is one problem with this book it's that the first part is so brutal, so barbaric, that the rest of the book kind of pales in comparison. Parts two and three do have their moments and often you are nudged towards ideas you would rather not think about, it just feels a bit like someone set the fireworks off in the wrong order.
