Hade gett högre betyg om inte för den första tredjedelen av boken som var extremt jobbig att läsa (vilket också är hela meningen men men). Den känns också som att den simplifierar den komplexa sak som är människan på ett sätt som jag inte älskade. Annars: intressant historia, gillar språket som ger stämning (när man väl kom in i den, i början var det asjobbigt att läsa) och ger en en tankeställare kring kriminalpolitik (ish?). Skulle rekommendera, men inte om man är känslig för äckliga saker.
