A startling debut. Dark, oppressive and a commentary on society and the justice system. Felt a little long in places but didn't go in depth in areas that I would like to have explored - the moral dilemma of rooting for criminals - murderers, rapists etc and what it woukd mean for them to win and be released back into society. The ramifications of that and so much more!
