This is the most disturbing book I have ever read, hands down. Not a bad book--not by any stretch. But do not read it if you're not ready to be challenged. Humanity is cultivated and expressed only to be constantly torn away in this book (kind of like life). The balance between love and human experience and absolute depravity is striking and somewhat nauseating.
