I really enjoyed this Max Barry Novel. It's a bit darker than his earlier novels, but still has humor in places.
The way Barry writes characters feelings, fears, and observations is masterful! The sense of terror and trauma characters feel in situations is very real. 
If you are not comfortable reading the first chapter, about the real estate agent, you will NOT be comfortable the rest of the book- though it is a very good book.
