I've never read any of Dr. Tingle's other books, so I came into this blind other than knowing it was about a conversion therapy camp. The first third started off strong, but it kinda flew off the rails after that. The prose is quite good, but the overall plotting and pace is all over the place. There's really only any character development to the main character (and kinda for one side character), but most of it happens between the many timeskips in the book. It also stops being a horror book after the first third except for the last 50 pages or so.
It was a good book, and I don't regret reading it, but the hype around it led me to expect something more. It felt more like a YA novel than anything else.

I specifically stopped reading after Step 1 so that I don't get ahead of myself. I may or may not continue it before I get to the next steps.

A damn heavy book. I can only take a chapter or two at a time.

Gotten my way through the (extensive) introductions. Kinda wish I hadn't read them? Or at least hadn't read the "Textual Introduction" because I think it kinda assumes you've read the book before.
Also got through the first chapter or so. Definitely in line with the "book as philosophical screed" vibe I get from a lot of 19th-century lit, but the prose is gorgeous (though what else is to be expected from Oscar fuckin Wilde)

I tried to read the latest poetic translation, but while this specific translation is only in prose (though it does preserve a lot of the poetic elements anyway), the extensive footnotes are making it so much easier to read and make sense of.

Technically I started reading it before, but that was only the (very long) introduction.
