This was a really great book, I randomly got it from my local library's book give away and was blown away by the depth of the characters and the topics discussed. This book brought up a lot of "scary" ideas that may seem like fiction, but the author ensured to cite sources showing just how based in reality this book was. The characters were incredibly interesting and the book was really well written, such that you felt like you were there.
