vile for shock sake? the writing is stilted and doesn't flow at all and the language is likened to a bunch of teen boys talking about drugs and sex

Look. This is a tough topic. And maybe this just isn’t a book that’s for me.
I was struck by the writer’s callous descriptions of terrible acts. Did I know going in that this was going to be a difficult read, yes. Did the tone of the book lead me to believe that the author has become numb to the atrocities, immensely so. I was incredibly disappointed in the way he talked about women especially.

Oh my god. It doesn’t stop. The gas pedal is on the floor. This book has blown my mind. The clearest investigative journalism I’ve read.
