challenging dark sad tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

If I could give this book negative stars I would. It’s unnecessarily gross and vulgar and has taken me forever to get through because it’s mostly whiney, stream of consciousness dribble from one of the character’s thoughts. Don’t waste your time.

Didn't think I was enjoying it, then all of a sudden I was. Western without the swagger, and with a lot more wanton violence.
