"I had now ceased utterly to be a human being." 

I'm not sure how I feel about the book. It's dark and depressing and slow - not the best combination to have but somehow, I couldn't stop turning page after page. An engaging read but one which I won't want to read again - there are fewer things that are bleaker.
