This was a rollercoaster ride! A long, slow build turned into a heart-pounding thrill before mellowing out into the end. Although dark, mysterioys, and borderline horror, the story isn't as developed as thoroughly as I would have liked. I loved the nuances of David's character (is he protagonist or evil villain?)  I did not like the animal cruelty.
