The depravity of man is real. But this book was too disgusting for my liking. 

Thought provoking. Writing style is good, but just felt like a Hemingway knockoff. 

Really don't think this should have won the Pulitzer. 

First book I've read with no chapters and no quotations for dialogue. Interesting read.
