It's a really good book, thought provoking and written in an interesting way. It probably deserves a higher rating but, even if I appreciated it, it wasn't really my cup of tea

There were so many bad things constantly happening that you got kind of numb to it - but then again there's some meaning in that too

I would have made a lot of different choices than the father throughout the book, so it was hard in a lot of ways for me to relate.  It's definitely a book that has challenged my worldview, and it made me think deeply about the will to fight/live/survive/humanity itself.  That being said, I really didn't like it, although I CAN appreciate the writing.
