The Killing Lessons
by Saul Black
The Killing Lessons was one of those books that you so desperately wanted to put down but couldn't. A book so gory and disturbing that just as you convince yourself to close it- to take a break- a little part of you knows you can't.
This book is well written and while there is a lot going on, it's very simple to understand. Though with each passing chapter, you're in a different characters part of the story, there's always a through line which makes the piece of the timeline you've been dropped in comprehensible. Pretty much every character other than Nell is unlikeable at some point but you still want them all to live and to be ok.
In short, this book was compelling and well-written, but don't read it if you have a weak stomach or a low tolerance for disturbing circumstances.
