→ Trigger Warnings: Suicide, Murder, Violence.
In-depth Rating:
→ Plot: ★★★★★
→ Character Development: ★★★★★
→ Setting: ★★★★★
→ Entertainment Level: ★★★★★

General Comments: A clever and detailed script, challenging our morality by extension, asking how far we would go under similar circumstances for justice. The methods of providing suspense alter, and by the end of the book our opinions experience a 180-degree shift. The pages turn rapidly, with a desire, perhaps a compulsion, to head directly for the continuation. A classic amongst classic.
Favourite Quote: ‘I am justice!’
