2.0

Read as part of a book club revisiting friends’ childhood favorites.  Yikes.  The plot had me hooked, but often against my own will — the book’s world and characters are mired in a dreary lack of morality with little escape in sight, with nonchalant police violence being the recurring star of the show.  Find something that’s not about a cop breaking poor people’s arms.  It’s redeemed slightly by the endearing tight-knit friendships that form among the central characters.
