The book doesn't pull its punches.  I almost stopped reading because of the bleak nastiness of the earlier scenes where the heroes have been kidnapped.  It's quite powerful.  Later it gets a bit easier to read as they are free and have more choices.The writing packs a real punch, and the storytelling is quite skillful.  It seems like the proofreading was much more meticulous in the first third.  By the last third the silly typos get rather thick, which was pretty annoying.  But overall it's suspenseful and visceral.
