The plotting was good and dropping the reader in the middle of the action, and not giving an origin of the worm mass, was a good choice. It really wasn't as shocking and disgusting as the marketing made it seem, though, because I'm not shocked by pregnancy, and the prose is kind of breathless and overdone. It's also autobiographical to an extreme degree, which I don't enjoy.
