Like so many of the other reviews reflected, I concur that this is an exceptionally well-written and often disturbing book.Mr. Logan has brought to life some of the nastiest, most unpleasant fictional characters I have encountered.We face the sense of inexorable movement toward a confrontation with the evil that exists in humanity leading to brutality, madness and murder.In reading the book, I occasionally felt weighed down by the bleak interactions between the characters, the sense of unreality, and the futility of trying to make a difference. [On a shallower note I vacillated between regarding the incessant repetition of bird-like/bird-faced and grin/grinning as effective or annoying. The jury is still out.]It was a pleasure to read an essentially typo-free book (although the author kept misspelling "entrepreneur" as "entrepeneur").I suspect the effects of the book will linger longer than may be healthy for my psyche. Good work Mr. Logan.
