Meh. Sometimes putting a lot of gore and rape and whatnot doesn't make your work edgy, it just seems desperate. I am a fan of depraved macabre writing and am completely unphasable when it comes to graphic depictions, but there simply wasn't enough of a story surrounding the sophomoric depictions of sex and violence for me to be impressed. I'm suprised this book is as highly regarded as it is.
