The body of the work is great, but the ending sadly falls flat. So much potential. A similar feel to Chac Mool, but leaves you disappointed instead of utterly horrified. The predictability isn't what bothers me, it's the writing at the end. As though he spent a week crafting the body and then realized it was due in an hour and just threw the end at you. Or maybe he became disinterested. I would recommend to either stop reading a chapter early and come up with your own ending -or- just read (or reread) Chac Mool (Burnt Water).
