Look. This is a tough topic. And maybe this just isn’t a book that’s for me.
I was struck by the writer’s callous descriptions of terrible acts. Did I know going in that this was going to be a difficult read, yes. Did the tone of the book lead me to believe that the author has become numb to the atrocities, immensely so. I was incredibly disappointed in the way he talked about women especially.
