Review: A gory little character study
Rating: 4 out of 5

As the author of novels where the killer's POV is focused on greatly, I jumped all over this one. I think following the killer rather than the police trying to catch the killer is quite refreshing and exciting. As long as I didn't read this book at night or alone, I enjoyed it immensely. The first half read almost like a literary fiction or a character study of the town, which was cool because it made you feel like you knew the characters that Han was hunting. When the hunting did begin, the story skipped over the first couple hundred kills. This was obviously done because the reader didn't have any ties to those other residents, but it made the believability of Han having killed a couple hundred people in 48 hours kind of far-fetched. But oh well. Still a good read. NOT FOR THE FAINT OF STOMACH though. Beware. You've been warned.
