Review:

Why is torture so important to prize winning novels?  This book had horrifying descriptions of systemic abuse.  I don't know what to say.  The prose was excellent, the character development was good, the plot was a little bit easy to see, but, on the other hand, there were good and reasonable twists.  I just couldn't get over the torture and will always remember this book with a chill.
