It took me a minute to get used to the language in this book, but once I did, it wasn't as challenging as I thought it would be. This book is one that will make you think about the true nature of good vs. evil and the role of reformation that the government plays in our society. I think the "charm" for lack of a better word, of our Humble Narrator is one of the reasons this book is so readable. He's a horrid bastard who has done terrible things, but his "charm" does make his story easier to digest. I suppose that makes me as gullible as one of his victims, but then I surmise that was precisely the author's aim.
