I finally got around to reading this book, which was recommended by two people who have fantastic taste in literature, and man, was it an experience. It was truly one of those books that stick with you (and not necessarily in the best of ways). This was such a dark exploration of the worst in humans, and at times I found myself thinking I was suspending disbelief because of how fantastical or extreme some of the parts of the book seemed, but then something so grounded in reality would happen that it would feel like a punch in the gut. Sometimes the truest monsters and the scariest horror really exists in the day to day life of a violent and unjust society. This one is going to stick with me for a while. 

OH! And the style in which it was written? chefs kiss It truly felt suffocating to read page after page in this style that reflected how we all think and speak in our normal lives. But kept you wanting to keep turning pages and keep coming back to the story.
