Sex eighty ways?  Check.Gratuitous violence?  Check.A bit hard to follow?  Check.The book is a serial-killer fest, and it's very sexually and violently graphic.  It's good for what it is, but there are many different stories going on (including flashbacks), so I wouldn't exactly call the chronology 'linear'.  That, along with aliases and many different settings (both in the US and abroad) make it a little confusing at times.The storyline is very good, but it does take a little while to pull you in.  The end was a bit of a shocker, and some people aren't what/who you think they are.The book definitely has impact, but I think it could have been laid out a little better.The one thing I couldn't get past is how the Americans speak like Brits (think phrases like: 'That right smarts').
