It was a very good book. Rhough the grotesque explainstion of starvation and what people did was difficult to read. Although the rape is not clearly described it is referred to enough that it bothered me.

Buddy read with a bestie. Neither of us were held by the plot. I thought the pacing was EXTREMELY slow.
