I'm not sure what I can say here that hasn't been said better in other reviews, but I'm glad I read this one. It's quite thought-provoking and dark, and it weighs pretty heavy, all things considered. I'd guessed a lot of the twists early on but that's not a bad thing. This isn't one I'm sure I'll keep, but it was compulsively readable.
