Overall, I can't say I liked this book because of all the  "ultraviolence" in the novel, but I admit the author uses a very creative language (quite difficult tonunderstand, definitely a challenge of this book also) and has a couple of interesting reflexions about jail, political strategies, and the notion of punishment.
