Review: Kind of like a train wreck
Rating: 3 out of 5

The opening scene shocks you and draws you in all at the same time.  From there it was a battle of wills to the very end.  It was very dark and twisted, but made you think about basic human survival, the will to live, and sexual mores. It was graphic, but I've read other books that made you cringe more at the details. So while you are fully aware of the continual torture going on, the  banter between characters is surprising. Pure messing with the mind. It was like a train wreck in that I didn't want to put it down, because I wanted to know how it would turn out, but at the same time there were points where it was too drawn out. After a while, I think I kind of numbed to it. I think this is the first time I have ever said a book was too long.  Definitely not for the delicate or anyone who has an aversion to any kind of rape scene. Definitely thought provoking enough to keep you thinking about it afterward.  Would I recommend it?  I'm not sure.  It's one of those where you're afraid to admit you liked it because of the way the admission reflects back on you.
