While important to read for the cultural significance and interesting moral dilemma behind it, I wasn’t a big fan of this book. It was a bit repetitive and some parts were a bit too slow for me. The psychological torture may have been realistic for the scenario but it was too graphic for me. Overall not bad writing, just not my cup of tea.
