Overall, highly recommend although strong warning of violence. I really liked the multiple perspective approach to telling the events and how it built up that much suspense when getting to the climax points. I don't know how I feel about the ending. It seemed a bit anti-climactic for me, but maybe I just need to think about it more. The overall quote I would use to describe this book is the one mentioned multiple times throughout the novel, "the true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love."
