This is a great book, easy to recommend but difficult to read. The plot is fairly easy to follow along with but it is told in an unorthodox way. This is a great example of a writer expertly revealing character through dialogue.

The whole experience of reading felt like sticking my fingers in someone else’s open wound; intimate, but not in a nice way.
