cait_henry56's review

It is disturbing, but not scary. It relies on vivid descriptions of sexual violence and racism. Nothing substantial or as interesting as the Thriftbooks reviews led me to believe. It has a similar ick to his Endimon series.

I loved how thorough the concepts were in terms of describing the psychology of evil in the real world. The characters were really well thought out and it was very gripping, even though it was long.
