We read them all: the case against is amara.reads's. Marked below.
Seven hundred pages of suffering arranged for maximum effect. It works, and I resent that it works. Three stars for craft, minus one for manipulation, plus one because I finished it at 4am.

On Open Library, 152 have read it and 4,087 want to.
