This is not a book for people who cannot handle animal cruelty and or experiments performed on animals and humans a like. The story is interesting and hard to put down, deeply disturbing, and does not have many traditionally "good" characters. I liked it, and the second half of the book was fascinating and read much more easily due to it's scientific nature. Do not go into this book without reading the potential trigger warning.
