I made it 15% of the way on audio, and I just can't take listening to any more slurs about people of color. I've had to put up listening to that garbage being spewed from idiots my whole life (family members included) and I can't take it anymore. No wonder people snap. 
So listening to something like that for entertainment is a no go.
Ufffff, it's exhausting mentally.

Seems to be mainly a venue for expressing lots of racism, misogyny, sexual violence against women, and animal cruelty. Not nearly enough plot/engagement to keep me with it.

5.0

A gritty crime thriller set in west Texas with well developed characters & strong writing. Reminiscent of James Elroy.
