Woof. Very heavy book but a great read. It's not something I'd "recommend" but if you're a fan of very dark, dystopian tales, this is right for you.

alexandrabelze's review

hated all the characters. had the potential to be a great sociological and psychological commentary though :<

what finally did me in was that horrendous sex scene in chapter 18.
