Great read. The content of this novel made my blood boil and anything that creates such a visceral reaction has to be good. The only thing that detracts from the rating is the protagonist treats every decision, regardless of how inconsequential it is, as if its life or death. This novel also opens the eyes to travesties that occur elsewhere in the world and are considered routine by their standards. Tons of quotable lines too.
