I would not recommend this book to anyone. This book is 500 pages. The story could've been told in 250, easily. Even if it wasn't just an edgy shock-fest, its bloated length is enough to say you should stay away. I enjoy the author's prose, but I wish he had channeled it differently, and kept it brief.
