Excellent book. REALLY well written and put together. I liked the multiple perspectives and I felt the author excelled at writing different people who all sounded very different. I liked the ambiguity and I liked that this book was messy and unclear as to who exactly did what and who was to blame because there was no single person who was to blame for the events of the book. Bockoven writes people and their feelings, thoughts, and self-justifications really well, and that is why this book is a work of art.
