If you're looking for an engaging, character driven, maddening, furious, vivid and at times horrific depiction of the human condition under impossible odds, I beg you to give this a listen!

I do agree that for such a short book it has a slow start and took a while to get to the horror and gore, but once we got there we were into it and didn't want to put it down. We read in tandem with the audiobook and that was done masterfully as well with all the different narrators (love Nathan Fillion!).

Violence, Death, Gore, and Body Horrordslcer's review against another edition
Additionally, the author seems to espouse certain conservative convictions throughout the book, which is fine, but not my cup of tea.
