It was... Something. Very painful to read i had to stop and stare at the wall many times while reading it. i will never get over chapter 8. 

It's defenetly deep and thought-provoking

The story explored some challenging moral dilemmas around bullying and victimhood that I found very interesting. The plot was in some ways predictable but I thought the ending was satisfying enough despite this. 

Personally I found the audio narrator, in this edition, to be somewhat irritating at points, particularly when he tried to put on a more feminine voice for the female characters; it had an almost comic effect which was distracting from the tone of the book.
