I absolutely loved this book, but it's not for the faint of heart by any means. It has graphic language, violence, very male-oriented sexual content (i.e. nothing romanticized or even suggested in the way of emotion, it's straight non-obligatory sex, so don't look for romance here). In this book there is corruption, deprivation of humanity, lying politicians, a man seemingly dead to his emotions because his family was killed years earlier...Not to mention a murderer on the loose killing women viciously. The closest author I can compare this to is Thomas Harris, but his characters have a measure of control about them. There's none here, and that makes this a bit more frightenining. A bit more 'right-round-the-corner', because IF it gets you, you CAN'T talk your way out of it or reason with it (which wasn't possible in Harris' books, but the illusiion was there, that's not so here). Read with caution but great anticipation if you can handle this sort!
