This book kept me on edge and i read it in just four days, staying up late so i could finish it. I liked how no character was portrayed as "pure evil", their emotions, feelings and reasons for what they did were explained well.

Spoiler

Tho Max can frick off, because what he did has no reason other than him having no regard for others.
