What purpose did they show Brock Cutter dying and the cop breaking his legs? They never go into it further and it's frustrating. Randy's motives are never super clear either. It was exciting to read, but at the end I was left somewhat dissatisfied. The dissatisfactory ending really makes the book downgrade for me.
Graphic: Death of parent, Kidnapping, Murder, and Violence
Moderate: Pedophilia, Child abuse, Car accident, Gun violence, and Rape
