The book is so-so. It is very uniquely written. It can be whatever you make it to be. According to the afterward by the author, he really didn't intend the book to be that thought provoking. My biggest issue is not with the book itself but with how society has wrongly endorsed the some of the characters as heroic. No character in this book should be idolized. It's an interesting read and I'd recommend it, I just don't know if I liked it very much. This isn't for the easily offended or faint of heart. It is very dark.
