"... Mentre loro mettono in atto la più audace forma di disapprovazione di cui possono disporre. Il silenzio. Che dice che non siamo d'accordo. Che non perdoniamo. Che tutto questo è sbagliato." 

Pubblicato nel 2008, a più di dieci anni dall'uscita, rimane un libro fenomenale.
Crudo, feroce e diretto, con scene rese ancora più strazianti dal contrasto tra il bisogno di sopravvivere e il rifiuto di essere ridotti a merce, la storia va avanti a benzina e colpi di scena, immergendo il lettore in uno squallore che da assuefazione. Lo stile è asciutto e privo di fronzoli, ma ciò amplifica la potenza del libro a dismisura. Riletto da adulto ti lascia addosso un certo effetto, molto sgradevole, che da adolescente non avevo provato.

I inhaled this book when I was 13. Nothing else mattered. Sleep schedule was ruined. God bless.
