This book is like rubbernecking a gruesome car accident. It’s disturbing, but you can’t pull your eyes away. Banks’ themes of fate and free will play out in the coming-of-age story of the socially isolated, sociopathic teenage protagonist. It is very well done, but is also extremely difficult to get through.

Lots of animal abuse, and a confusing plot that leaves me with many questions. Finished it in one day so definitely something to quickly get through!
