Zeer spannend, omschreven net als een film, geen rust! Heel confronterend want dingen die je al weet enerzijds maar toch wel echt gruwelijk om zo omschreven te zien staan. Interessant ook qua geschiedenis. Heel goed geschreven en boeiend hoofdpersonage.
Voor mij soms te heavy en neerslachtig (zou dit genre niet continu kunnen lezen) maar wel een goed boek en zeker een aanrader.
