 Violent love eats up what it does love, and is mere appetite.

This was wild ride. The narrator is not a person that you easily sympathize (i didn't at all), you are in is head throught the whole book and by the end i just wanted to be free of this man's mind. 
Althought i hated this character most of the times, I would be lying if I said I didn't find his character fascinating to read. I do love to read books with morally grey (or really fucked up characters) like this one has, so this was a treat for me.
