Great writing when looked at in small chunks, but it made little sense when all together. I had to take notes and make a conscious effort to keep track of what was happening. Really awful things happen to Mungo for seemingly no reason. Hated the characters as well.
Detailed, descriptive consensual sex between minors. Big no from me.
