I am usually vehemently against multiple perspectives in a book (or at least I need them to all be perfectly fleshed out), but Kukafka's integration of Ansel's second-person narration style, integrates the reader seamlessly into the mind of a sociopath. I believe this choice (and the choice to keep the other three perspectives third-person) helps to punctuate Kukafka's primary thesis/question: When crimes against women are committed, who's story do we end up telling? This story was unsettling, challenging, and upsetting. While not graphic, it can be difficult to read and to sit with. I will be recommending it to my most hearty of friends so I can have someone to talk about it with.
