This book was pretty disturbing.  It was well written, but I felt uneasy, and not in a good way, reading it.  I liked it well enough to finish it but was kind of glad when it was over.  The subject matter was hard to digest in that the main character was a 14-year-old boy and there was a lot of drinking and a "sex game" at the center of it all.  I found it a little hard to believe that the main character, who narrated the story, was so young.  He came across as a lot older and wiser than 14 and never really had me feeling like I should believe he acted and reacted the way the author had him doing throughout the story.  I probably won't read another story by Max Duty.  Definitely not my genre.
