Customer Reviews

Unsettling, but honest.

'Overlook' is definitely not for the faint of heart or the blissfully unaware. It is a sonetimes grotesque but always authentic snapshot into a world you have probably never dared to think about. In this regard, it stands out to me as a good book, thorough and surprising in its' plot and oddly relatable in its' writing and tone. However, I would have liked more pictures in it.
