I have never read a book with such a brutal protagonist who just has to be pure evil. His actions are inhumane and he severly lacks empathy. There was kind of not one single soul in this book with good intentions, always having a thought behind their action. This novel let's yourself question what good actions really are - is a behavior without doing harm and violence still good if the person doing it has no other choice? This novel is filled with corruption and betrayal, whe the somewhat made up teen language gives it a little twist.
