I get the idea that this author is trying to be Chuck Palahuniuk with this book, but he doesn't exactly make it. We're really supposed to believe a girl can "eat" a town? With no distended stomach, vital organ distruction or - oh of course - the idea that a bed cannot FIT INSIDE OF A GIRL. And the graphic descriptions of her eating, for example, a restaurant and a bed? Not even something you can "suspend" your mind to imagine. The writing is good and the story is engaging - it makes you interested, but his style of writing is definitely a Chuck P ripoff. It's like he was going for shock value, but then "forgot" to shock you.
