Depressing! I like many of his other books and found them to be a nice escape from the sadness real life offers at times. Too much negativity, The author paints vivid negative imagery bordering on grotesque. Not to mention he saves this for the middle to near end of the book! As well as using language especially near the end that i personally found offensive. I can only guess the author was having a bad day neering the conclusion of this book. It could have been great, parts of it is, but the bad outweighs the good by miles. This book was a terrible disappointment!
