This is violent so for those who do not like this sort of thing then it is not for you. This is about how people act in certain situation and it does not seem really far fetched. This is shown in this book in how some people treat each other hence the violence. My only negative is that it goes back and forwords in time. I did find it confusing at times and also for me it ruined the suspense. However, it is still a good book.
