I cannot believe the reviews for this book. It's all about misery... violence mixed with sex... characters with no morality. What is this world coming to when all of you write glowing reviews for such a piece of trash. I'm three fourths of the way through it and so angry I even started it. I don't want all of this crap in my head. But yes, he is a great writer. All the more scary that he would use his talents to write this sickening, depressing, sexually deranged graphic piece of junk.
