Not sure what to say about this book. The premise was intriguing, but I never felt the story was fully developed. The characters didn't have enough depth. The torture of the main character was horrific, but I didn't care that much about anyone and just wanted to finish the book so I could move on to something more interesting. The bad guys weren't interesting, the 'good' guy wasn't interesting - maybe it was just too political for me. I don't even know how I came across this book. It must have been recommended to me, maybe in an Amazon newsletter, and I got it on interlibrary loan.

I think the story had a lot of potential, but I just could not connect emotionally with any of these characters.

I read this because I couldn't find the movie anywhere. I recognized a lot of direct quotes from the movie trailer so that looks to be a fairly faithful adaptation and I got pretty much exactly what I expected and wanted! I would recommend you not read this unless you know what it's about cause otherwise you might be upset. I did want slightly more in some parts but I'm pretty pleased.
